With the trail running from Monday 30 June to Friday 31 August, the spotlight is ready to shine on the all-star cast of celebrity partners, film directors, studios and global superstar brands who are collaborating with The Grand Appeal and Aardman to design sculptures. Get ready for a red carpet-worthy rollout like no other, with more details set to be released next week.
The trail by The Grand Appeal and Aardman, who are celebrating their 30-year collaboration, will feature over 50 unique interpretations of Wallace, Gromit, Feathers McGraw and Norbot following the recent hit film, Vengeance Most Fowl.
Since the first trail in 2013, Gromit Unleashed alone has generated more than £20 million for The Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity and Cots for Tots, the dedicated charity for the Neonatal Intensive Care Ward at St Michael’s Hospital.
What started as a one-off sculpture trail more than a decade ago has now evolved into an iconic and much-loved brand, spanning collectable figurines and giftware, a major online and in-store retail outlet at The Mall Cribbs Causeway, and multiple trails, exhibitions, events, auctions, and activities worldwide.
