A host of celebrities and designers including actors Stephen Graham and Hannah Walters and comedian Greg Davies have been applying their artistic talents in support of LOROS Hospice’s Stomp Round Leicester art trail. 

This summer LOROS is launching Stomp Round Leicester, a 10 week art trail of 40 giant elephant sculptures, decorated by artists alongside 80 baby elephants created by local schools. Now the great and the good have joined them in beautifying a range of mini elephant ornaments to raise awareness of the forthcoming trail as well as funds for the hospice. 

The range includes amongst others a Taskmaster elephant created by Greg Davies, an abstract Jackson Pollock style design by Adolescence star Stephen Graham and a Japanese cherry blossom elephant by his wife actor Hannah Walters. Designers Rockett St George and Lucy Tiffany also contributed as did Hollyoaks actor Charlie Clapham and BBC East Midlands Today presenter Anne Davies. 

Clare Bloomfield of LOROS Hospice said: “We are absolutely delighted with the response we got when we asked people to be involved. The designs are beautiful and a lot of thought and creativity has gone into all of them. We hope they attract lots of attention and get people really excited about the elephant trail itself this summer - we want everyone to get involved for LOROS’s 40th anniversary year. 

“Hospice care is going through a difficult time right now, with so many costs increasing. It would be great to get the whole community behind us this summer! 

“Huge thanks to our partners Next who supplied the mini elephants.” 

You can catch the mini elephants on display on Saturday 31st May at Fosse Shopping Park, outside Next from 10am-4pm. Everyone is welcome to come and see them!  

They will then move to the This + That by LOROS store on High Street, Leicester to form part of the Stomp Round Leicester art trail on 14th July, and be auctioned off on 5th October alongside their giant companions to raise much needed funds for LOROS.
