BARKING NEWS: A Gromit Unleashed 3 ‘Behind-the-Brush' Exclusive
Welcome to your first ‘behind-the-brush' scoop!
It’s no secret that screen favourites Wallace, Gromit, Feathers McGraw and Norbot will be taking over Bristol from 30 June to 31 August. But this time they’re back, bigger, bolder and more star-studded than ever before.
Meet the Stars
Today, the paparazzi gathered as we unveiled five new stars of the hotly anticipated trail:
-
Inspired by the age-old tale of The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, Wallace has been reimagined by artist Mister Hope as the justice seeking outlaw from Sherwood Forest, with Bristol City Centre Business Improvement District (BID) as sculpture sponsor.
-
Created by new trail artist Victoria Richards and featuring the artistic stylings of the roaring 20s, this glamourous Gromit would be an incredible conversation piece at one of Gatsby's glittering parties. The spectacular sculpture is sponsored by CJ Hole.
-
A Gromit Unleashed trail in Bristol wouldn't be complete without a swashbuckling pirate. Thanks to illustrator Paula Bowles, Norbot is ready for an adventure on the high seas, but not before delighting crowds this summer! Natracare sponsors the mischievous mariner.
-
Once upon a time in Bristol, there stood a fairy castle fit for a princess. For this design, talented artist Emily Ketteringham has turned Norbot's towering hat into a fairytale turret!
-
No cinema trip would be complete without popcorn, sweets, and drink! Whether you're sweet or salty, everyone will enjoy artist Simon Tozer's Norbot this summer. This playful design is sponsored by Global Furniture Alliance.
Gromit Unleashed 3 officially hits the streets from the 30 June to 31 August, bringing a summer of colour, creativity and character to the city.
It’s a blockbuster cast this year, with more big names and surprises waiting in the wings.
