We are looking for businesses to get on board and sponsor one of our fabulous final three and be part of an exciting Tyne & Wear wide event that will engage the hearts and minds of the region and beyond.

 A summer and Autumn-long promotional campaign which will be accessed by over half a million people in Tyne and Wear.

Available for sponsor...

'Brightside' - Richardson Dees Park, Wallsend

'And the prize for the most appropriate name goes to… Brightside, who lives up to his reputation as a bold, colourful and eye-catching herd member. He’s a rainbow of colour with his roots firmly in the North East, sporting the iconic Earl Grey Monument of Newcastle up on Tyne right over his heart. Inspired by the artist, Inspiratori Art’s, Anglo-Indian heritage and the inclusivity promoted by his big brother Elmer, Brightside is a fusion of culture that captures the diversity of the North East and will add a pop of colour to its home in Richardson Dees Park.

‘Feathered Friends’ - Marine Park, South Shields

Feathered Friends was created by artist, illustrator and avid ornithologist Matt Sewell. Decorated in a calming palette of blues and greens, this Elmer features cute little bird characters who have flocked to their elephant friend for a natter and a chin wag. Located in the beautiful Marine Park in South Shields, this amazing elephant will enjoy a scenic view and the company of his feathered friends who call the park home.

‘Hakuna Ma Elephant’ - Northumberland Park

Ever seen a flamingo, hummingbird or a lion in Northumberland Park? Hakuna Ma Elephant is a bit of a wild one, bringing the safari to North Shields. Inspired by the natural habitat of the endangered African elephant and other animals who share its home, Wildlife artist Jina Gelder has used inks and watercolours to bring all of your favourite animals to life. With the release of the Lion King remake this summer, we think Hakuna is going to be king of the trail with our visitors.
