As the colourful Shaun the Sheep Sculptures make their way to their new homes after helping raise an incredible £265,250 when they were auctioned off, we can now reveal the results of a survey which show the positive impact the art trail had on visitors, the Maidstone community and the town’s economy.
Feedback from members of the public who downloaded the App, and visitors who completed the survey on the Trail website are phenomenal. Not only was ‘Shaun the Sheep in the Heart of Kent’ a huge success in providing a free fun way for families to enjoy Maidstone and its attractions over the summer but it also helped raise awareness and vital funds for the Hospice.
The recent post trail survey commissioned by Wild in Art shows that the trail was enjoyed by 217,859 visitors – with 84% spending more time in Maidstone because of the trail.
The 9 week long art trail had a total economic impact of just over £6.8 million which contributed £2.07 million of Gross Value Added (GVA) to the local economy.
