Get ready to witness the thrilling spectacle of โBulls in the Cityโ 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 88 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.
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 weโre 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.
After the summer trail, the sculptures will be auctioned off to raise money for Birmingham Hospice. You will have the opportunity to own a bull of your own and make a difference to ensure the future of your local hospice.
The first night of installation is complete โ ๐

Our trail hub is looking UN-BULL-IEVABLY GOOD ๐
Our first large bull of the trail has also been installed in his home for the next 8 weeks – Astro the Memorabull is a very special sculpture as he holds the tribute names of many loved ones ๐ค
Astro needed to be in a special place where people could come visit him and find the name of their loved ones. So our Herd HQ in the @gwabirmingham is the perfect place!
The hub will be open from Wednesday 16th July – youโll able to pick up a trail map, merchandise and enter our raffle from here.
Weโre so excited for Brum to be taken over by our happy herd next Wednesday! ๐๐คฉ
Bulls in the City is an un-bull-ievably fabulous day out in Birmingham, of course, but it`s also a vital fundraising venture for @brumshospice.
The hospice provides expert palliative and end of life care for local people living in Birmingham and the surrounding areas. Rated Outstanding by the CQC, the hospice is a charity and relies heavily on donations and generating voluntary income to survive.
This year we estimate it could cost ยฃ19 million to fund Birmingham Hospice. Times are hard for charities with the rising cost of living and the cost of care ever-increasing. But Birmingham Hospice will always be there for patients and families who need them.
So when you`re out on the streets exploring each magnificent sculpture, remember the WHY – and donate to Birmingham Hospice to ensure no one has to face the end of life alone, scared or in pain.
