Sculpture trail
Demelza is delighted to be bringing our family-friendly art trail, a ‘Trail with a Tale’ to Royal Tunbridge Wells in July-September 2025!
A series of beautifully decorated sculptures across the picturesque streets of Tunbridge Wells to create a free art trail for all to enjoy, with 10 special stories to bring tales to the trail.
See the sculptures and read the stories
Partnering with leading producer of art trails, Wild in Art, the trail will help Demelza to reach more extraordinary children with serious or life-limiting conditions while increasing visitors to the town and supporting community engagement.

If you`re back to school shopping in @stampedeshoes_ then please say hello to Sir Chesterfield Cottontuft, created by: Leigh Academy Paddock Wood.
Each child in EYFS has used their fingerprints to create the hops on the hare’s jacket.
We hope you love this hare as much as we do! ❤️ …

Meet Skittles a joyful snail created by the talented pupils of Claremont Primary School. You’ll find this colourful character brightening up the display at @simplysportsltd.
Bursts of bold colours and playful patterns make Skittles a feast for the eyes, reflecting the energy, imagination, and creativity of the young artists who brought it to life 🌈
