Bulls in the City

Coming to Birmingham 16th July – 14th September 2025!

Bulls in the City art trail

A herd of 40 larger-than-life bull sculptures will stampede into our city this summer – all in support of Birmingham Hospice.

Based on the iconic bull outside the Bullring, the sculptures which make up the trail will have been lovingly hand painted and decorated by 40 talented artists.

Each sculpture has also been sponsored by a generous local business or organisation.

As well as the 40 big sculptures, we have a herd of 85 calves which have been adopted by schools, nurseries and community groups from around Birmingham.

In July, all 125 sculptures will be placed around our fantastic city to form an immersive art trail, ready for discovery by people of all walks of life.

At the end of the trail, each sculpture will be auctioned off to raise money for Birmingham Hospice.
