Look out for larger-than-life illuminated sheep lighting the way between Riverwalk and Crook Hall Gardens.
Artist Dave Young and his team of heritage crafts practitioners used an array of materials to construct these handcrafted, beautifully decorated sheep, each with its own distinctive character.
