‘Feathers’ is gifted to The Sherborne
A special someone has arrived at The Sherborne.
‘Feathers’ is one of the Aardman Animation Gromit sculptures painted by Bristol illustrator Dave Bain.
Feathers has been gifted to us and is here to stay. We’d love for you to come and say hello, and if you get a chance to take a photo, please tag us on social media at #gromitatthesherborne, and we’ll share them in our stories.
If you’d like to share your photos with us, email hello@thesherborne.uk, and we’ll do the rest!
In 2013, 80 giant Gromit sculptures adorned the streets of Bristol for 10 weeks before going to auction to help raise funds for Bristol Children’s Hospital. The auction raised an astonishing £2.3 million.
“From small local companies to national corporations, a whole host of businesses generously came on board to sponsor our sculptures and some smashing artists and household names from the worlds of film, music, art, animation and fashion, such as Sir Quentin Blake, Cath Kidston, Nick Park and Disney Pixar, lent their talents to design the dogs.”
On Monday 30 June, 2025 Gromit Unleashed will be back in Bristol, bigger and better than ever. Watch this space!
