What’s it all about?
Over the summer of 2025, a group of sculptures will form a unique, family-friendly outdoor trail in Royal Tunbridge Wells. There will be 10 stunning sculptures, accompanied by smaller sculptures designed by local schools and community groups – which is where you come in!
Join our Learning Programme and you can design and decorate your own small animal sculpture, which will form part of our trail and to be seen by trail visitors and the wider community. Once the trail comes to an end, your sculpture will go back to its forever *home in your school, college or community group.
*subject to minimum fundraising target.
