Stomp Round Leicester

Leicester
14 July 25  – 21 September 25
LOROS Hospice
Overview

In July 2025, a herd of magnificent Elephant sculptures stampeded into Leicester as part of a spectacular art trail raising vital funds for LOROS Hospice in its 40th anniversary year.

Each Elephant was sponsored by a business and beautifully designed by a talented artist to create a free, fun, family-friendly trail of discovery for the community to enjoy whilst exploring the city.

Joining the giant Elephants roaming through Leicester were mini-herds of Baby Elephant sculptures, adopted and decorated by schools and community groups as part of an exciting Learning Programme.

After the trail, the large elephant sculptures were auctioned to raise money for LOROS Hospice, helping terminally ill local people and their families at the most difficult times of their lives.

Most Voted For

Twist and Stomp

During the trail, visitors could vote for their favourite sculpture on the Stomp Round Leicester app and Twist and Stomp came out top of the trunks!

Created by Natalie Ratcliffe, Twist and Stomp brought joy and sparkle to the herd. She is a shining patchwork of colourful lucky stars and is a joyful reminder to never be afraid of standing out and to always spend your days dancing together like no one is watching.

In partnership with LOROS Hospice

Stomp Round Leicester was our second trail partnership with LOROS Hospice, following the success of Rocket Round Leicester in 2021.

2025 marked the hospice’s 40th year of caring for its community.
