An elephant-astic time!

From 1st July to 8th September, the streets, parks and open spaces of Lichfield, Tamworth and Sutton Coldfield were home to over 60 beautifully designed elephant sculptures. 30 large elephant sculptures were designed by local and national artists – both well-known favourites and newly emerging talent, plus, more than 40 mini members of the herd, designed by local schools and community groups.

This exciting Wild in Art event, brought to you by St Giles Hospice, showcased our community’s wealth of artistic talent and rich cultural offer – with the auctioned sculptures raising an incredible £125,000 to fund vital care services.
