The Sheep Detectives - Afternoon Tea
The film follows George Hardy (Jackman), a shepherd who loves his sheep and raises them only for their wool. Every night he reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand, never suspecting that not only can they understand but they argue for hours afterwards about whodunnit. When George is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The local cop Tim Derry (Braun), on the other hand, has never solved a serious crime in his life, so the sheep conclude they will have to solve it themselves, even if it means leaving their meadow for the first time and facing the fact that the human world isn’t as simple as it appears in books.

Celebrate 100 years of The Stiwt Theatre
In 2026, the Stiwt Theatre in Rhosllannerchrugog marks 100 years since it was built in 1926 by a mining community during the turmoil of the General Strike. Funded by miners and the Miners’ Welfare Association, it was created as a Miners’ Institute and became the cultural heart of the area for decades. After closing in 1977, the Stiwt was restored through community effort and reopened in 1999. Today it remains a thriving theatre, and its centenary celebrates the spirit, solidarity and creativity that made it possible.
