Wednesday 16th July – Sunday 14th September

The trail is completely free and can be enjoyed over and over again, throughout the summer of 2025. However, there are lots of ways you can support Birmingham Hospice throughout the trail period and beyond. 

There are 33 large bull sculptures featured in the main Bulls in the City trail in Birmingham city centre.  

In addition to these there will be a cluster of 4 large bulls on Harborne High Street and 3 large bulls on Boldmere High Street.  

88 smaller mini bulls, created by schools and groups, will be located in internal venues around the city as well as in our shops located in Harborne Boldmere, Northfield, Mere Green and Heeley Road.   

Locations can be found on trail maps or on the trail app which is downloadable from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store when the trail is live.
