Full list of Pride of Yorkshire sculpture trail locations unveiled ahead of June launch
Full list of Pride of Yorkshire trail locations revealed
The full list of locations for South Yorkshire’s biggest ever sculpture trail has been revealed ahead of the first lions being unveiled next month.
The Pride of Yorkshire trail will see 150 life-sized lion and lioness sculptures, alongside 150 smaller cubs, appear across Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster this summer.
The sculptures are due to be officially unveiled on June 8, but today, The Star can reveal the full list of trail locations.
The trail has been launched to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Sheffield Children's Hospital, while also raising £2.8 million towards transforming the hospital’s Emergency Department.
It follows the success of the city’s hugely popular Herd of Sheffield and Bears of Sheffield trails, which together raised more than £1.5 million for the charity.
The lions have been created by Attercliffe-based Simpson Patterns and individually designed by artists from across the region.
Each large lion has been sponsored by businesses, and will later be auctioned off to raise funds for the hospital.
Schools and community groups have also designed and decorated the smaller cub sculptures.
Cheryl Davidson, Project Lead for Pride of Yorkshire at Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, said: “Together, the Herd of Sheffield and Bears of Sheffield helped raise more than £1.5m for Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity.
“Now we’re going even bigger, and want to raise £2.8m to celebrate Sheffield Children’s Hospital’s 150th year.”
Among the Sheffield city centre locations confirmed for the large lions are Fargate, Tudor Square, Sheaf Square, Weston Park, Victoria Quays and Barker's Pool.
Other locations include Utilita Arena Sheffield, Olympic Legacy Park, Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre, Endcliffe Park and Norfolk Heritage Park.
Cub sculptures will appear at other well-known venues including Winter Garden, Crucible Theatre, Moor Market and Sheffield Hallam University.
