For 11 weeks, 50 big and 114 little individually painted elephant sculptures are taking over North East streets, parks and public buildings in the biggest and brightest art trail ever seen in the region.
Check out all the stunning sculptures online before you meet them in person on the trail.

Every penny raised from the trail will allow St Oswald’s Children’s Hospice to be there for local young people, children and babies with incurable conditions.
St Oswald’s Hospice has to raise over £7.5 million each year to keep its doors open and its service free to those who need it. Its Children’s service offers short breaks and respite care to children with complex conditions and provides support to their families.
