Aardman Animations has joined with charity, Wallace&Gromit`s Grand Appeal, to present Gromit Unleashed, a ten-week-long public art. Trail that will see 80 five-foot-high sculptures of Gromit, unleashed into the city of Bristol and the surrounding area.

From 1st July to 8th September, as you wander around city, you will find sculptures that have been individually designer and created by some of our best local artists.

You can pick up trail map with will help you to find your way around the Gromits. Overleaf, you`ll find a full list of all the Gromits that have been unleashed into Bristol- and beyond. Also you can pop one of official Gromit Unleased passport stops to collect six Gromit stamps.

As you discover Gromit around the city, you will also be able to walk Brunel`s iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge, relax on a boat trip around the Harbourside, see Bristol`s famous street art and even do a spot shopping.

After the trail, the next big event will be to auction.
