Have you herd?
Get ready to witness the thrilling spectacle of ‘Bulls in the City’ as it charges into Birmingham during the summer of 2025!
The city’s next big art trail will depict the legendary Birmingham Bullring Bull, with 40 large bull sculptures descending in July as well as around 85 calves.
Imagine wandering through the bustling streets of Birmingham, uncovering one stunning bull after another, each bearing the creative imprint of a local artist and proudly sponsored by a local business.
Working with Wild in Art, this colourful and exciting art trail will engage local communities and bring thousands of visitors into the city. All while raising awareness of Birmingham Hospice and the importance of the care it provides the people of Birmingham and their loved ones.

Together, we’re making every moment matter
Birmingham Hospice is not fully funded by the NHS, instead relying on fundraising and donations to fund our services. Now, more than ever, our expert and compassionate care is needed to ensure people die in a place of their choice, with dignity and in comfort. But the cost of care is soaring, making it harder for us to care for everyone who needs it. We want to ensure we’re here for local communities now, and in the future. By taking part in Bulls in the City as a school or business, visiting the trail with your family or just sharing our message, you will make a difference.
Donate today to support your local hospice.

A huge thank you to Birmingham Bullring Indoor Market Traders for becoming a sponsor for Bulls in the City! 🐂
Brodie visited the historic markets recently to say thank you to all the incredi-bull traders working there – he had a quick cut and colour at Eileen`s Hairdressers, visited Pearce`s Shellfish to check out their catch of the day and picked up some fabric and a takeaway too.
Thanks to all the traders for their support of our trail!
