Gromit Unleashed 2025 sculpture trail guide including locations, dates and characters
Gromit Unleashed 3 takes to the streets later this month
Among this year's list of summer events that the family can enjoy is the return of the beloved Gromit Unleashed.
Taking to the streets of Bristol and the surrounding areas, this year's trail will see Wallace and Gromit joined by Norbot and Feathers McGraw - stars of the Vengeance Most Fowl film that came out on Christmas Day 2024.
Families and fans of the beloved characters, created right here in Bristol by Aardman Animations, will be able to follow a trail to hunt down and find all sculptures which, this time around, have been designed along the theme of film and cinema.
Whether you're new to the Gromit Unleashed trail, or a veteran at posing for photos in all corners of the region, we've compiled a handy guide of all you need to know this time.
From locations, to dates, and what we know about the sculptures so far, read on to find out more:
What is the trail and how does it stand out from previous years?
This year's trail, titled Gromit Unleashed 3, is still in aid of The Grand Appeal and will still see sculptures of characters from the world of our favourite duo uniquely painted by artists from right here in Bristol to across the world.
This year's trail will take visitors on a journey through the movies, with character sculptures inspired by cinema, fables, legends, films and the stories that inspired them.
Characters will not only include Wallace and Gromit, but also Norbot (Wallace's smart gnome invention from the latest film) and the duo's arch-nemesis, Feathers McGraw - all as you've never seen them before.
Some - like these Roald Dahl and Netflix creations - have been designed by some of the biggest names in the industry, with more still to be announced.
How many sculptures will there be - and where are the locations?
The hotly anticipated trail will feature more than 50 sculptures to raise funds for The Grand Appeal, Bristol Children's Hospital's charity.
