Epic art trail brought to you by and in support of Birmingham Hospice.
Bulls in the City

Bulls in the City art trail
A herd of 40 larger-than-life bull sculptures stomped into our city this summer – all in support of Birmingham Hospice.

Based on the iconic bull outside the Bullring, the sculptures which made up the trail were lovingly hand painted and decorated by 40 talented artists.
Each sculpture was also sponsored by a generous local business or organisation.
As well as the 40 big sculptures, we had a herd of 88 calves which were adopted by schools, nurseries and community groups from around Birmingham.
From 16 July to 14 September, all 128 sculptures were placed around our fantastic city to form an immersive art trail, discovered by thousands of visitors this summer.
