Elmer’s Big Art Parades are sculpture trails inspired by one of the most iconic and widely read children’s book series of all time.

Discover our Shaun the Sheep Art Trails

Since 2023, we have been working in creative partnership with multi-award winning, independent studio Aardman to bring their well-loved, Academy Award® nominated film star Shaun the Sheep to towns and cities across the UK.

This #InternationalSculptureDay we are delighted to share with you a video created by Joe, our winner of last year’s Wild in Art Stories competition.

Joe and his family received one of our owl sculptures as a prize and they have spent the last few months painting an amazing design which references the 17 trails they have visited!

Watch the video to spot the clues to the trails and for the final design 🤩

Thank you Joe, Tilly, Poppy and Busby!

Elmer's Big Parade in Blackpool is live! 🌈🐘

Over 70 sculptures have paraded into the seaside town for a free, family-friendly art trail and are positioned around key landmarks, streets and open spaces making it the perfect way to explore the area whilst discovering the amazing artwork on show.

Each large sculpture features unique designs by artists from across the UK and there are also herds of mini Elmers to find at indoor venues which have been decorated by local schools and youth organisations.

Discover the trail between 13 April and 9 June by using the official free app or by picking up a map (link in bio).

After eight weeks, the herd will come together for a fantastic farewell event on 22-23 June before heading to auction to raise funds for the local children's hospice @brianhousech.
