Planes, Trains and Automobiles: Plan Your Travel

Gromit Unleashed 3 isn’t just taking over the streets of Bristol; it’s also branching out to some top spots in the South West.  

Our locations have been carefully selected to reflect the catchment area of Bristol Children’s Hospital: the cause behind our award-winning trails. 

We understand that some locations will add some extra steps and transport options to your sculpture hunting. That’s why we’ve devoted this webpage to making sure you can get out and about and see the sculptures you’d like to see… Behold, your options!  

The Gromit Unleashed 3 App

The Gromit Unleashed 3 app is now available on Apple and Android! It costs just £2.49 to download.

A guide to all things Gromit Unleashed 3, you’ll be able to plan grand days out using our mini trail maps. You’ll also have access to sculpture updates, including their venue’s opening and closing times and more. 

Plus, you’ll get the scoop from our friends at First Bus, GWR and Severnside Community Rail Partnership, who have kindly put together a list of the closest bus stops and train stations to the sculptures a little further out of town. These will appear when you find and log a sculpture on the app.  

All profits from your purchase of the Gromit Unleashed 3 app supports Bristol Children’s Hospital and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St Michael’s Hospital, helping us to pioneer and shape the next generation of children’s healthcare in Bristol.  

Your Gromit Unleashed adventure starts when you download the app.
