SmileyWorld® Art Trail in Stockport
Get ready to explore a full spectrum of emotions as Totally Stockport brings a vibrant Wild in Art trail to the heart of Stockport this summer.
From 4 July to 15 September 2025, Stockport will transform into a playful outdoor gallery as the SmileyWorld® Art Trail takes over the town centre with a colourful collection of quirky, fun and exciting sculptures, each inspired by the SmileyWorld® icons.
Following huge success in Battersea, London and North Tyneside, the SmileyWorld® Art Trail will be making its North West debut, guaranteeing family fun during the school summer holidays – and best of all, it’s completely free to attend.
Each icon features a unique artwork on its reverse side, produced by creatives who were tasked with interpreting and responding to the range of emoticons.

Explore the trail
Designed as a self-guided experience, the sculptures will reflect a broad range of human feelings and will invite you to connect and smile – or not! – as you explore Stockport town centre’s key locations and landmarks using free trail maps, complete with games, puzzles and doodles for kids, which will be available to download once the trail begins.
Printed copies will also be available for pick up in local businesses and public venues.
