Sneak peek at Gromit Unleashed 3 sculptures

By Martin Booth  Wednesday Apr 30, 2025

With just two months to go until the Gromit Unleashed trail returns to Bristol, organisers have granted Bristol24/7 a sneak peek of some of the new sculptures.

Gromit Unleashed 3 is taking place on the streets of our city from June 30 to August 31, with the sculptures then being auctioned off to raise money for The Grand Appeal, the charity for Bristol Children’s Hospital.

Wallace, Gromit, Feathers McGraw and – for the first time – Norbot will all feature this year, with ‘Gromiteers’ taken on a journey through the movies with sculptures inspired by cinema, famous films and the stories behind them.

Dozens of sculptures will be coming to the streets of Bristol this summer for Gromit Unleashed 3

The Grand Appeal commercial director, Anna Hitchcock, said: “The progress being made every day, now we’re just weeks away from the start of the trail, is astonishing.

“Seeing the designs come to life behind the scenes is so exciting, and we just had to share some of that energy far and wide.

“The designs, the details and the standard of this year’s sculptures and artists is so inspiring.

“Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing more and more details, and we can’t wait to bring the colour, creativity and fun to the city this summer.”
