Last chance to see Gromit Unleashed
The Gromit Unleashed sculptures from the 2013 Bristol trail will be returning to the city on the 25th July! They will remain at the Grand Appeal store at The Mall for six weeks, the full list of Gromits is yet to be announced but read on for a few sneak previews…
Millions of people from across the UK took part in the highly successful Gromit Unleashed Trail in 2013, which then saw the sculptures auctioned off to raise money for Bristol Children’s Hospital, raising 2.3 million pounds for the charity. Eventually, all 80 Gromits found new homes, and some owners have now allowed the Gromits to be displayed for one last time. Some of these sculptures will never be displayed in public again so catch your favourites while you can!
Come and see the pooches reunited, and take phots with fan favourites such as Gromberry, who was voted No. 1 Gromit on the trail, Cath Kidston’s beautiful Antique Rose, and Ship Shape & Bristol Fashion, who in 2013 watched over the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge. Also featured in the exhibition are noble Sir Gromit of Bristol, Doodles by Simon’s Cat, and pretty Butterfly by acclaimed milliner Philip Treacy OBE. More to be announced so keep an eye on the website and shop!
