First sculptures revealed for Gromit Unleashed 3

The Grand Appeal and Aardman have revealed the first four sculptures that will be featured in the new Gromit Unleashed trail next summer! 

Wallace, Gromit  and Feathers McGraw will be joined by a brand-new character sculpture which will hit the streets of Bristol on 30^th June 2025 to raise money for The Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity.

Gromit Unleashed 3 will come hot on the heels of our new film, Wallace & Gromit:  Vengeance Most Fowl, coming to the BBC in the UK on Christmas Day and Netflix globally on January 3rd.

In celebration of the film release, Gromit Unleashed 3 will take visitors on a journey through the movies, with character sculptures inspired by cinema, famous films and the stories that inspired them.

The first three uniquely designed sculptures to be revealed feature much-loved duo Wallace & Gromit, and their returning arch-enemy Feathers McGraw.

Designed and painted by The Grand Appeal’s Creative Lead Emily Golden, King of Diamonds is a playful Feathers McGraw that could have jumped straight out of the pages of Lewis Carrol’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Wallace takes on a new character as a homage to historical epic stories featuring Roman soldiers and heroic gladiators, created by local set and scenic artists Mawford Arts.

And Gromit is ready to light up the dancefloors of disco films such as Saturday Night Fever, as created by mosaic artist Lizzie Tucker.

In a cracking plot twist for the third Gromit Unleashed trail in Bristol, a brand-new prototype sculpture has been unveiled. Introducing… ‘Norbot’ the smart gnome, Wallace’s enigmatic new invention from Vengeance Most Fowl who joins the character line-up for the first time in 2025.

"Gromiteers" can expect the stars of this trail to include famous names,  story characters and more, with local and international artists featuring in the line-up. Previous sculpture trails have featured designs from, Disney Pixar, Lego, Joanna Lumley, Sir Quentin Blake, Dreamworks and Jools Holland.

Since 2013, Gromit Unleashed has raised more than £20 million for The Grand Appeal. What started as a one-off sculpture trail more than a decade ago has now evolved into an iconic event. We're excited about it already!
