Have you herd?
Get ready to witness the thrilling spectacle of βBulls in the Cityβ as it charges into Birmingham during the summer of 2025!
Picture this: a dramatic parade of larger-than-life sculptures, each one a unique masterpiece of artistry, depicting the legendary Birmingham Bullring Bull. But wait, there’s more! These majestic sculptures aren’t just static displays; they’re part of an exhilarating, free-for-all adventure trail designed to thrill families and tourists alike!
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.
Now, as Birmingham Hospice unveils plans for a trail of bull sculptures throughout the city, they’re not just celebrating this iconic figureβthey’re harnessing its power to create meaningful connections and support a vital cause. By bringing a herd of uniquely designed bulls to Birmingham’s streets, the hospice aims to unite the community in a shared appreciation of art, culture, and philanthropy, all while raising crucial funds to provide expert, compassionate care for those at the end of life.

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 weβre here for local communities now, and in the future. By taking part in Wild in Art 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.
