Fans of Wallace & Gromit will be able to see 53 sculptures together before they go up for auction in October. <\/p>\n

Giant versions of Aardman characters Wallace, Gromit and Feathers McGraw, along with new character Norbot, the smart gnome \u2013 have been on display in a trail across Bristol<\/a> since the end of June.<\/p>\n

They will all be gathered outside The Mall at Cribbs Causeway from 13 September for two weeks.<\/p>\n

The trail, called Gromit Unleashed, raises money for The Grand Appeal, which supports Bristol Children’s Hospital by funding research, helping families and paying for life-saving equipment. It ends on 31 August.<\/p>\n

This is the third Gromit Unleashed trail \u2013 the first was unveiled in 2013. <\/p>\n

The trails have raised more than \u00a320m for The Grand Appeal to date, thanks to auction sales and donations.<\/p>\n

Nicola Masters, director of The Grand Appeal, said: “It’s the one and only time to see all 53 large sculptures together before they go off to auction.”<\/p>\n

She told BBC Radio Bristol that 100 Norbot sculptures painted by local pupils will also be displayed before returning to schools.<\/p>\n

Four miniature Wallace, Gromit and Feathers McGraw artefacts, currently hidden within Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, will also be on display.<\/p>\n

“People are being incredibly generous when they’re out and about on the trail,” Ms Masters said.<\/p>\n

“It’s for a really serious cause.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fans of Wallace & Gromit will be able to see 53 sculptures together before they go up for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48017,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6225,6485,6486,1120,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-48016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48016"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48016\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
