Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas

It’s Christmas Eve at Mossy Bottom Farm where Shaun’s seasonal excitement turns to dismay when a farmhouse raid to get bigger stockings inadvertently leads to Timmy getting lost in the local Christmas market.

Shaun’s rescue mission to town goes horribly wrong when a gift box containing Timmy disappears off in a 4×4 driven by Farmer Ben, a local celebrity and influencer. Can Shaun save the day and get Timmy home in time for Christmas?

Playing an eclectic style of music ranging from the more traditional hymns and marches, to popular classics, jazz and film music and both original traditional and contemporary brass band repertoire, the band prides itself on delivering exciting and emotional performances to cater to a range of different audiences and events. The band has won every elite band event on the contest calendar, including the National Championships of Great Britain on 9 occasions and the British Open 16 times.
