Gromit Unleashed 3 is coming!

Share this:

A Gromit Unleashed 3 Bristol trail sculpture, with a glittering mosaic design.

Get ready, we’re rolling out the red carpet for Bristol’s biggest blockbuster of 2025! 

The much-loved Gromit Unleashed trail is back, bringing our favourite pooch and friends to the streets in a dazzling new arts trail with a touch of movie magic. From 30 June to 31 August, Bristol will be decorated with giant sculptures of Aardman’s classic characters —each lovingly crafted by talented artists, and each with a story to tell. 

And here’s the big news: for the first time, Gromit Unleashed will celebrate the world of storytelling and film. Expect a mix of sculptures that hint at timeless fables and wonders of the big screen. 

Who’s joining Gromit?

As always, Aardman’s beloved Gromit will lead the way, joined by his ever-inventive pal Wallace. But that’s not all! Feathers McGraw, everyone’s favourite scheming penguin, returns to bring his mischievous flair to the trail.  

And making his Gromit Unleashed debut, we’re thrilled to introduce Norbot, the new “smart gnome” who has a starring role in Wallace & Gromit’s latest adventure, Vengeance Most Fowl

Each of these characters will be reimagined in spectacular, movie-inspired designs, giving Bristol’s streets a hint of Hollywood sparkle! Think shimmering disco floors, heroic epics, and whimsical landscapes.

When will the trail start?

Kick off your summer with Gromit Unleashed 3 from Monday 30 June! From high-traffic spots to hidden corners, the sculptures will fill iconic locations around Bristol, perfect for a fun-filled family day out.

Be a part of the adventure

Every step you take on the trail contributes to a greater cause. Since 1995, The Grand Appeal has generated around £90 million to support Bristol Children’s Hospital, with our incredible sculpture trails contributing £20 million. This has funded life-saving equipment, family accommodation, and pioneering research and so much more. In 2025, your love for Gromit Unleashed will go even further to support the hospital’s life-changing work, ensuring a brighter future for sick children and their families. 

Whether you’re a Gromit fan, a family looking for summer excitement, a local business interested in sponsoring a sculpture or a school wanting to take part, Gromit Unleashed 3 is a celebration you won’t want to miss.

Calling all sponsors!
