There’s still more ele-phun to be had in Dorset!
The elephants may have packed their trunks and said goodbye to Bridport, West Bay, and Lyme Regis, but they will be bringing more joy and smiles during our Farewell Event. This takes place at the Corn Exchange in Dorchester from 14th – 18th June – get your tickets today!
Following the Farewell Event, the Mini Herd will be returned to the schools who created them, whilst the elephants designed by artists will be auctioned to raise vital funds for Weldmar Hospicecare. You can even win your very own elephant from the trail in our raffle!
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’.

SCULPTURE #12: INSPIRALLED BY NATURE
A walk to the top of Langmoor and Lister Gardens in Lyme Regis is well worth the effort, as you can join one of our most striking elephants in enjoying a stunning view of the Cobb.
Inspiralled By Nature was designed and painted by @loiscordelia who says: "Inspired by Lyme Regis` ammonite fossils, this surreal, playful, fairytale design celebrates the intricate beauty of spirals in nature. Everywhere we look, on every scale, we find spirals: swirling galaxies (including our own Milky Way), whirlwinds, fern fronds, snails, roses, spiders` webs, even the molecular structure of proteins and DNA. How many details can you spot?"
Sponsored by Vertu Yeovil Mini, you can win £250 of official Mini merchandise if you collect Inspiralled by Nature on the Stampede by the Sea app! Just tap in the four digit code you`ll see at the sculpture to unlock access to the competition.
See this amazing elephant on the trail until 26th May, and at our Farewell Event at the Corn Exchange in Dorchester in June. You can even provide a forever home to Inspiralled By Nature at our Charity Auction! Find out how to get tickets to our Farewell Event and register your interest in the Auction on our website.
