Are you ready for an elephantastic time?
A very special herd of elephants has arrived in Bridport, West Bay, and Lyme Regis! See them until 27th May!
The area has been transformed into vibrant, fun, and free art trail that local families and visitors will never forget. More than thirty large striking and colourful elephants will be waiting to be discovered, each designed and painted by talented artists. The trail will conclude with each sculpture being auctioned for charity. Baby elephants – our Mini Herd – have also found their way into local shops and businesses in the area.
Stampede by the Sea is raising funds for Weldmar Hospicecare, who provide specialist end of life care for local adults with a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones.
Explore. Discover. Enjoy!
Stampede by the Sea is LIVE! An exciting eight week art trail featuring almost sixty elephants across Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis, followed by a Farewell Event exhibition, and concluding with your opportunity to give an elephant a forever home at our Auction.

HOW THE HERD WILL HELP
Last year, 247 people received care from Weldmar Hospicecare in Bridport, West Bay, Lyme Regis and the surrounding area, and more than 1,500 in total across Dorset.
Weldmar’s compassionate approach treats every person as an individual, and their team includes nurses, doctors, carers, therapists, counsellors, social workers and more, who are there during every step of one of life’s most difficult journeys.
All of Weldmar’s care is provided for free. Stampede by the Sea will not only help raise vital funds to continue these services, but increase the awareness of how they help – a subject which is often ‘the elephant in the room’.

We absolutely LOVE this photo of Caroline, Becky and Tina, the main driving force behind the unique Vintage Sunday Market at St Michael`s Trading Estate in #Bridport! During the trail, Delightful Doris has a home at St Michael`s. It`s the first thing you see when you visit their website, and they`ve even mentioned Doris in their current radio ad on @keep106.3
Thank you St Michael`s Trading Estate, for being part of Stampede by the Sea and supporting @weldmarhospicecare.

SCULPTURE #16: SANCTUARY
Located in pride of place outside the @weldmarhospicecare charity shop on East Street in Bridport, Sanctuary was designed by local artist @nicoladennisart and is sponsored by @mapperton_estate.
Nicola says: "Sanctuary was inspired by the artist`s love of nature and the patterns that it weaves throughout her life. The importance of preserving our natural world has never been greater. By providing new and restoring old habitats we can offer sanctuary to all kinds of life, from the tiniest insects to the largest elephants. The design shows the complexity of nature`s symbiosis."
If you collect Sanctuary on the Stampede by the Sea app, you can take advantage of savings on annual memberships at Mapperton, for an individual, couple, or even the whole a family! Tap in the four digit code you`ll find at Sanctuary to find out how to claim your reward.
