Elmer’s Big Belfast Trail

If you’re in Belfast this summer then keep your eye out for some rather colourful characters as a herd of elephantastic sculptures pop up around the city. A free, family-friendly art trail featuring the beloved Elmer the Elephant character takes place in the city until August 31. Each sculpture in the trail is a different take on the famous David McKee storybook character and has been decorated by local and international artists, community groups, and schoolchildren. The trail has been designed to celebrate 21 years of care at the Children’s Hospice in the city and is in aid of NI Hospice. Above is the ‘Love is All We Need’ Elmer designed by Shirley Copperwhite. To follow the trail and donate go to Elmer’s Big Belfast Trail website or download the ElmerBelfast app for free in the usual places.
