ABOUT GROMIT UNLEASHED 3

Gromit Unleashed is back, bringing everybody’s favourite pooch, Gromit, 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.

For the first time ever, 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.

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, 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. Gromit Unleashed 3 follows the success of the award-winning Gromit Unleashed and Shaun in the City arts trail, which have generated £20million for Bristol Children’s Hospital since 2013.

Our sponsored sculpture

Bristol City Centre BID is delighted to be a sculpture sponsor for Gromit Unleashed 3.

Meet ‘Robin Hood: Prince of Cheese’, inspired by the age-old tale, Wallace has been reimagined by artist Mister Hope as the justice seeking outlaw from Sherwood Forest.

Wallace has arrived straight from the classic tale of The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood. This cheesy outlaw of Sherwood Forest is legendary for his generosity in distributing wealth to the poor. Peek into his teacup, you’ll see it’s filled with gold.

You can find Robin Hood: Prince of Cheese on College Green from 30 June to 31 August.
