At Elonex we’re thrilled to announce our involvement in Bulls in the City, Birmingham’s next great art trail coming in 2025.
As a media partner, Elonex will be supporting this exciting initiative with digital billboard advertising across Birmingham, and we’ve also sponsored our very own bull sculpture, which will form part of the 40-strong herd set to descend on the city from July to September 2025.
Bulls in the City sees Birmingham Hospice partner 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. Next 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.
Rebecca Richards, Senior Events Manager at Birmingham Hospice, said the trail is an incredible opportunity for local businesses to support the hospice.
“Due to the national funding crisis affecting all hospices in the UK this year, it’s more important than ever we raise vital funds and awareness for our charity,” she said.
“Bulls in the City will be fantastic for our charity, but it’s also a great opportunity for local businesses to get involved in what is set to be the biggest and best art trail our city has ever seen!”
