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!
