Silver Screen Science-Fiction Presents...

A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon

Strange things are afoot in the town of Mossingham. After a UFO lands nearby, Shaun encounters its owner, Lu-La, a tentacled visitor from another world. But when the pair come to the attention of the Ministry of Alien Detection, Shaun must do everything he can to get Lu-La safely back home and away from the hands of the obsessive Agent Red.

Take an out-of-this-world adventure at the end of the summer holidays as we show A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon in the unique venue of the Peter Harrison Planetarium. Join us before the film for a set of interactive demos and activities run by the astronomers of the Royal Observatory Greenwich and take the chance to ask all your questions about space and astronomy. 

If you've ever wanted to know about the search for life in the Universe, there's never been a better time to ask!
