Elephantastic fun for all the family
From the iconic cliffs at West Bay to the Cobb at Lyme Regis, Stampede by the Sea will feature around fifty elephant sculptures, placed across the area to create a fun and free art trail that will be accessible to all.
A perfect activity for local families, and an engaging attraction for visitors to the area, each elephant will have been designed by a talented artist, and sponsored by a local business. You’ll be able to follow the trail via our mobile app or map.
At the end of the trail, each elephant will be sold at auction to raise vital 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.
Local schools, youth organisations, and learning venues can also get involved, and have their own Baby Elephant to design and keep.
Throughout the trail, you’ll be able to discover more about the work of Weldmar Hospicecare in the area, and our app will allow you to unlock rewards from our partners and sponsors!

SCULPTURE #10: JURASSIC GLOW
Enjoying an epic view of the Cobb and the ocean, @ellienewburyart`s eye-catching Jurassic Glow is on the roof terrace in Lyme Regis, at Langmoor and Lister Gardens.
Ellie says: "Jurassic Glow features a bright and colourful sunset over the beautiful Jurassic coast. Marine creatures swim under the sea as the sunset light sparkles on the ocean surface and gives the pebble on the shore and the cliffs behind a warm glow. A striking yet calming design that celebrates stunning Jurassic coastal landscapes."
Pay a visit to Jurassic Glow with the Stampede by the Sea app and you can download a puzzle courtesy of Saffery as your reward! They say: "As a reward, Saffery, your local people-focused firm of chartered accountants and business advisors, has designed a puzzle for you. The puzzle features a picture of our elephant, Jurassic Glow and you have to unscramble the image to reveal it."
Jurassic Glow will join all of the elephants in our herd at our Farewell Event at Dorchester Corn Exchange this June, and you can bid for it at our Auction on June 19th. Find out how to get tickets to our Farewell Event, or register your interest in the placing a bid at auction, on our website.

FREE FAMILY BANK HOLIDAY FUN! 🌞
Well done to everyone who has discovered elephants on the Stampede By The Sea trail this week! We`ve picked out ten of our favourite photos of the week that you`ve been uploading to our app.
With more sunshine forecast for today and Bank Holiday Monday, it`s a perfect opportunity for you to try and find all 59 for yourself, if you haven`t already! Our amazing sculptures are spread across Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis. Download the Stampede by the Sea app, or pick up a map from our Trail HQ – the Salt House at West Bay – the Weldmar Hospicecare shops in Bridport and Lyme Regis, or the Hive Beach Cafe in Burton Bradstock.
Although you can enjoy the trail for free, it`s all to support Weldmar Hospicecare – you can do that by visiting our merch shop and grabbing a memento of the trail, buying a raffle ticket to win Rainbow from our Mini Herd or dedicating a name to add to our Memory Elephant (see our website), or simply by making a donation by scanning the code you`ll find at all sculptures.
As much as about fundraising, it`s also about raising awareness of Weldmar, so at each elephant you`ll find a nugget of information to help you learn more about the work of this local, independent charity, that provides specialist care for local adults who have a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones.
