\n Mr D\u2019s Olde Sweet Shop, located on Worcester High Street, will sponsor two large sculptures as part of the 2027 Peter Rabbit-themed art trail, which arrives in Worcester next summer.\n<\/p>\n
\n Aleks Racic, who runs the shop with his wife Alexandra, said: “Our wonderful sweet shop is named in memory of my dad.\n<\/p>\n
\n “St Richard\u2019s Hospice provided support to him and all of our family.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It was so important to dad to be at home and St Richard\u2019s helped to make that possible by offering compassion and guidance to the whole family and round-the-clock access to support as and when needed.\n<\/p>\n
\n “They made a very difficult time that bit easier for us all.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It\u2019s our second time supporting the hospice\u2019s art trail, but our first time supporting a smaller sculpture so a local school or community group can take part too.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It means a lot to us to give something back and be part of something really special in the city next summer.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The trail, titled Peter Rabbit\u2122 in the warrens of Worcester, will feature 75 sculptures and run from July 12 to September 5, 2027.\n<\/p>\n
\n Sara Matthews, business development manager for St Richard\u2019s, said: “There\u2019s something magical about a traditional sweet shop like Mr D\u2019s.\n<\/p>\n
\n “While the first part of the art trail is all about providing fun, free days out for a community which gives so much to us as a hospice, the sculpture auction at the end helps us continue our care for patients and their loved ones.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We\u2019re so grateful to Aleks and Alexandra for helping us be there for other families into the future.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mr D\u2019s Olde Sweet Shop, located on Worcester High Street, will sponsor two large sculptures as part of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":849173,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[449,458,459,64,63,460,134],"class_list":["post-849172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-design","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=849172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849172\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/849173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=849172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=849172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=849172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
