Say Hello to The Big Friendly Wallace!

Say hello to The Big Friendly Wallace! Proudly sponsored by Yeo Valley Organic, this larger-than-life sculpture reimagines Wallace through the whimsical lens of Roald Dahl's The BFG. He is ready to catch dreams, sip fizzy Frobscottle, and maybe even let out a whizzpop or two.

Painted by the brilliantly talented Laurie Stansfield, The Big Friendly Wallace has been brightening up The New Inn in Blagdon since his big reveal on 30th June. Visitors have been flocking to see him in person, and we're loving all the selfies, stories, and smiles he's bringing to the trail. If you haven't stopped by yet, don't worry - he'll be on display until 31st August, giving you plenty of time to join in the fun. And for an extra treat, The New Inn is serving a themed menu that's well worth the trip!

But this trail isn't just about cracking sculptures. Gromit Unleashed 3 is part of a much bigger mission: to raise vital funds for The Grand Appeal, the official charity for Bristol Children's hospital and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Every visit helps support lifesaving care for sick children and babies across the region, with proceeds going directly toward specialist equipment, family support services, and pioneering research.

This year's trail features over 60 incredible sculptures, each with its own personality and story - from futuristic Feathers McGraw to reimagined Gromit's and Wallace's across Bristol and the surrounding area. Whether you're a returning trail-goer or discovering it for the first time, Gromit Unleashed 3 is the perfect way to explore, enjoy and support an amazing cause.

So if you're looking for a fun summer day out, head over to Blagdon to meet The Big Friendly Wallace in person. Grab a bite, snap a pic, and help spread the word.

Cracking stuff, Gromit!
