Win your very own Stampede by the Sea elephant!

Enter our raffle and you can win the Rainbow Elephant from our Mini Herd

Back to Stampede by the Sea

Our Stampede by the Sea art trail is a fun, family friendly, vibrant event featuring almost sixty brightly coloured elephants! From 28th March to 27th May, the herd will be seen in Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis, before a final gathering at the Corn Exchange in Dorchester from 14th to 18th June. It’s all to raise funds and awareness for Weldmar.

Whilst many of the elephants will find their forever homes at a very special auction, and those designed by local schools will be returned to them to keep, you could win your very own Stampede by the Sea sculpture by entering our raffle!

 

 

Weldmar Hospicecare

Not only could you win your very own piece of the trail, but every ticket sold will help us continue to provide specialist end of life care for local adults with a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones.

Rainbow has been created by father and daughter team Jay and Minty Stevenson, and can be seen on the trail at Gunz Barbers on East Street in Bridport. This striking design features rainbow stripes, some glitter, and pearly toes!
