Calling all junior detectives!
There’s a mystery brewing in the fields, and we need your help to solve it…
To celebrate the release of new movie The Sheep Detectives (only at cinemas), Feather Down Farms is inviting curious minds and adventurous families to step into its world, where nature and storytelling go hand in hand.
Inspired by life on the farm, this charming film brings woolly characters and countryside clues together in a tale full of intrigue and discovery. A family fun 'whodunnit' follows George the shepherd, as he reads murder mystery books to his flock every night. What George doesn't know is that his herd not only understand every plot, but debate the clues for hours afterwards. When their beloved George is murdered, it's up to the flock to uncover the clues and solve the mystery.
Now it’s your turn to become part of the story - we're giving you the chance to win a family farm stay at New Barn Farm in Bedfordshire!

At Feather Down Farms, you don’t just see the countryside - you truly experience it. Breathe in the fresh air, reconnect with the rhythms of nature and watch wildlife in abundance. Life here slows down: no phones, no interruptions, just the gentle crackle of a fire and the soft birdsong in the distance. Surrounded by wide-open spaces and rolling green fields, this is nature at its most peaceful and authentic.
Stay in a spacious canvas hideaway with space for the whole family, a place where luxury meets simplicity. Relax in front of the wood-burning fire, prepare locally produced food in the kitchen and gather together around the rustic table for a delicious feast, sharing stories from your days adventures. When night falls, watch the stars on the deckchairs before retiring into a cosy, full-size bed with fluffy duvets, lit by candles and oil lamps. Here, you can rest. Here, you can rejuvinate.
