Stampede by the Sea

Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis
28 March 25  – 26 May 25

Overview

Update: The last full day of the trail will now be Bank Holiday Monday 26 May.

From the iconic cliffs at West Bay to the Cobb at Lyme Regis, Stampede by the Sea features a herd of elephant sculptures, placed in Bridport, West Bay and Lyme Regis to create a fun and free art trail.

The sculptures are each individually designed and painted by a talented artist and local schools, youth organisations and learning venues also designed smaller elephants to join the trail.

A perfect activity for local families, and an engaging attraction for visitors to the area, the trail is discoverable with an app.

Stampede by the Sea is open to visit from 28 March to 26 May 2025 and there will also be the chance to see all the sculptures together in one place from 14-18 June at the Farewell Event at the Corn Exchange in Dorchester.

The Wild in Art event is raising funds for Weldmar Hospicecare, who provide specialist end of life care for local adults with a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones. The large sculptures will then find their forever homes when they are auctioned on 19 June to raise vital funds for charity.
