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.

When we said ‘Bulls in the City’ this isn’t what we meant 😅🤷
Maybe he’s looking for Broderick and the rest of the herd.. he’ll have to come back July 16th to find them 🐂

Another sponsor announcement – today it`s our friends at DSM Demolition 🐂

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!

Behind the scenes! 🐂
Something most of us don’t think about when we imagine a city wide art trail – all the logistics!!
Today our project team received 40 concrete and wooden plinths to house our herd of bulls throughout the trail.
A huge thank you to Poundfield Precast for supplying the plinths and Fort Doors for helping us move them into our storage unit 🤠 of course also a huge thank you as always to sponsors IPIF for helping with storage.
Next steps will be drilling our chains into the plinths and attaching the signs 🪧 it’s getting close to trail live now!!

University of Birmingham is our latest Bulls in the City headline sponsor! 🐂
We’re SO thrilled to have this prestigious university sponsor our art trail this summer – especially as the Edgbaston campus is so close to our Selly Park hospice site 🩷
@unibirmingham joins @westmids_ca as our headline sponsors for the trail – live July 16th!
The herd is nearly ready for release 🐂

We`re SO grateful to the Industrial Property Investment Fund for not only being a trail sponsor for Bulls in the City but for also hosting our artists in a painting space! 🐂🎨
The team at IPIF have allowed us to use one of their units in Birmingham to host our artists, allowing them a quiet and safe space to create our incredi-bull pieces of art ready for the trail.
Thank you so much team IPIF 🤍
