Unicorns at large!

BRISTOL is going unicorn crazy this summer as a new charity art trail gets into full swing.

Sixty statues of the mythical creatures have been sited across the city for Unicornfest, which is raising money for Leukaemia Care.

They have been decorated by local artists as part of Bristol’s 650th anniversary celebrations.

Dozens of smaller unicorn ‘foals’ painted by school children have also gone on display. Many of these, including those from Sefton Park, Cotham, Elmlea and Henleaze Junior schools, are on display at IKEA.

The trail lasts nine weeks, until early September. Paper maps are available at a number of sites across the city and a pdf copy can be downloaded from the Unicornfest website. There is an app too.

Donations can be made by scanning QR codes on the unicorns or by texting the word UNICORNFEST to 70580 to donate £5.

Here is the unicorn at Gloucestershire County Cricket Club. We'd love to see photos of our readers with this and other unicorns in the area. Send your pics to news@ henleazeandwestburyvoice. co.uk and we'll publish as many as we can in our Sept edition.
