Visitors will be able to follow the trail using a dedicated website and printed map, allowing them to track their progress, discover each sculpture and unlock rewards as they go.
John Armstrong, chief executive of Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, said:
“Pride of Yorkshire is a celebration of 150 years of Sheffield Children’s and everything the hospital means to children and families across this region and beyond.
“This summer, the lions will bring colour, creativity and joy to communities right across South Yorkshire, while helping to raise vital funds for the next chapter in the hospital’s story.”
The Pride of Yorkshire follows the success of the charity’s previous sculpture trails, Bears of Sheffield and Herd of Sheffield. It is the first time the sculptures have extended to Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham.
The charity hopes to raise £2.8m towards a £20m transformation of Sheffield Children’s Hospital’s emergency department.
The full trail will open on 8 June and the full list of sculptures can be found here, external.
