Something out of this world is coming to Leicester!
Stomp Round Leicester is a free, fun, family-friendly art trail which will bring the people of Leicester together to share in the biggest art event the city has ever seen.
LOROS Hospice is working with leading art event producers Wild in Art to create the 10-week trail which will comprise 40 mammoth, beautifully decorated Elephants stampeding across Leicester next summer.
The trail will stampede through the city’s streets and open spaces and help even life-long Leicester dwellers discover something new about where they live.
Each Elephant will be designed by an artist and sponsored by local businesses. With a likely footfall of around 300,000 people, bringing in an expected £9 million to the local economy, Stomp Round Leicester will be a celebration of the city, its community and cultures, during LOROS Hospice’s 40th year.
At the end of the trail, each mammoth Elephant will be auctioned to raise money for LOROS Hospice to help them continue to care for over 2,500 terminally ill local people every year.
