We’re so thrilled to announce our involvement in Bulls in the City, Birmingham’s next great art trail coming in 2025. We’ve sponsored two of our very own bull sculptures, forming part of the 40-strong herd which will descend on the city from now until September 2025.
Birmingham Hospice has partnered with Wild in Art, a global producer of art trails, to create a new, showstopping trail to raise money for the hospice. Like The Big Hoot and The Big Sleuth that have come before it, Bulls in the City is set to be a bull-dozing stampede of fun – and we’re so excited to be part of it!
The trail itself is inspired by the iconic Bullring bull, created by sculptor Laurence Broderick. This summer will see a herd of 40 fibreglass bull sculptures take over the city, eventually being auctioned off to raise money for Birmingham Hospice.
With sites in Selly Park and Erdington, Birmingham Hospice supports local people living with a terminal diagnosis, offering expert palliative and end of life care for free to communities in and around Birmingham. The Bulls in the City trail will directly support Birmingham Hospice by raising awareness while the trail is live next summer, but it will also raise vital funds when the 40 sculptures are auctioned off after the trail.

Embark’s ‘Kintsugi’ is based on the Japanese pottery and ceramics that we will have all seen but it has been broken and carefully put back together again. We see some great messages regarding helping those who need it to perhaps put themselves together little by little, turning our care professionals into living pieces of art!
