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 #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.
