A Unique Art Experience in Bristol and Beyond
Bristol is set to become a vibrant hub of creativity this summer with the return of the Gromit Unleashed 3 trail. This much-anticipated event, which has been absent for seven years, brings back the beloved characters Wallace and Gromit to the city where they were originally created. The trail features 53 unique sculptures, each inspired by a different theme, offering a delightful journey through the streets and beyond.
The Gromit Unleashed 3 trail extends beyond Bristol’s boundaries, with several locations in North Somerset and other nearby areas. Fans of the iconic duo can explore these spots to discover the charming sculptures that have been placed throughout the region. To make the experience more convenient, organisers at Aardman, the animation house behind the trail, and The Grand Appeal, a children’s hospital charity, recommend using the Gromit Unleashed 3 app. This app provides a helpful map and mini-trail guides, allowing visitors to plan their route efficiently. The app costs £2.49 to download and serves as part of the fundraising efforts, with the sculptures set to be auctioned off once the trail concludes.
