About the auction

After the excitement of our trail across Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis in April and May 2025, our incredible elephants will be auctioned to raise vital funds for Weldmar Hospicecare.

It will be your opportunity to bid for a unique piece of art, whilst at the same time ensuring that Weldmar can continue to provide specialist end of life care for adults with a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones.

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’.
