Tales on the Tyne
We’re thrilled to be back in Newcastle and North Tyneside for a fourth time with St Oswald’s Hospice, this time with an exciting new trail: Peter Rabbit™: Tales on the Tyne.
From 15 July to 14 September, this vibrant public art trail brings a splash of colour to the streets, parks and open spaces across the region, all in support of St Oswald’s Hospice.
Uniquely painted sculptures of the much-loved Beatrix Potter character will celebrate the charity’s 40th birthday and Beatrix Potter’s 160th anniversary.
New for this year, your ultimate trail companion: The Map and Sticker Book is 28-page guide that contains everything you need to begin your adventure this summer. Plus, level up your adventure with the official Tales on the Tyne app.
In support of St Oswald’s Hospice
As well as bringing joy, colour and conversation to the streets of Newcastle and North Tyneside over the summer, the fluffle of big Peter Rabbit-inspired sculptures have a very special job to do.
Once the trail ends, most of the sculptures will be sold at auction on Tuesday 13 October at Newcastle Civic Centre to raised vital funds for St Oswald’s Hospice.
