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!

It looks like Knotty Netty is heading into @bridport_museum to discover more about 800 years of ropemaking in the town, rocks and fossils dating back 180 million years – and lots more! Thanks to our Logistics Partner, AmSafe Bridport, you can enjoy half price entry. Just collect Knotty Netty on the Stampede by the Sea app, and present it when you arrive!

AN EXTRA EASTER TRAIL TO FOLLOW!
This Easter weekend, take the family to find the elephants on the Stampede by the Sea trail, across Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis. Plus, we have a special, free Easter game to play!
Each of the large elephants in West Bay will have a letter attached to them. Unscramble the letters to find Lord Admiral Trunkston`s favourite snack, and kids can claim a special sticker at Trail HQ at the Salt House in West Bay! Pop in there to pick up an entry form before you start, any time from 11am to 3pm on Good Friday, Saturday, Easter Sunday or Bank Holiday Monday.
Good luck! ππ

COMPLETED IT MATE! ππ±
Well done if you have discovered all of the elephants on our trail! Follow the app, and if you collect the codes of all 58*, we`ll present you with a certificate! There are lots of rewards and milestones along the way too – collecting half of all of the sculptures will earn you a wonderful Lush candle!

*Eddie is one of our Mini Herd elephants, and is located at Tina`s Retro Clothing on the St Michael`s Trading Estate. He was created by Portesham Primary School. As a late (but very welcome) addition to the herd, he`s not on the app but is on our printed map and he`s looking forward to seeing you!

Thanks for bearing with us over the weekend, whilst we had a few issues with our app. The clever people who look after it for us say that it should all be working fine now, and we can see that some elephants have been successfully been collected today.
If you do experience any problems, there`s a really useful FAQ section on the app menu. If the questions and answers there don`t solve your problem, there is an option to contact the helpdesk.
