We're big on fun - elephant-sized fun! This summer at Highcross Leicester we welcome a parade of 16 incredible elephants to Highcross, from the 14 July, as part of LOROS' spectacular Stomp Round Leicester Trail! Stomp Round Leicester is a spectacular public art event that will stampede across the city in summer 2024. Mammoth Elephant sculptures, each one individually designed by an artist and sponsored by a business, form a free, fun, family-friendly trail of discovery for local people to explore and enjoy.
Big, Bold & Beautiful
You’ll find 3 giant, artist-designed elephants taking centre stage around Highcross, each one a stunning, larger-than-life masterpiece that’s guaranteed to stop you in your tracks.
Meet the Baby Herd
Marching throughout the centre, you’ll also discover 13 adorable baby elephants, each one uniquely decorated by school children from across Leicestershire.

Let’s go on safari… right in the heart of the city!

Get ready to stomp, spot, and solve with our exciting Wildlife Safari Trail around Highcross!

FREE Art Workshops
Join us for a creative afternoon of sketching, colouring, and community with the incredibly talented Kitty Dinners, the artist behind the stunning Highcross-sponsored elephant on St Peter’s Square!
Highcross Beacons - A Tribute in Colour
As part of our ele-fantastic celebrations, we are honoured to showcase a deeply moving and meaningful collection of artwork on our light beacons, featuring elephant designs created by bereaved children who have been supported by LOROS Hospice.
Each piece is more than just a design, it’s a story of love, memory, and healing. These young artists have poured their hearts into their creations, using colour and creativity to express their journeys through grief and remembrance.
