Elephant herd stampedes over Sheffield

An exciting art event that will be hard to forget is set to take place in Sheffield involving a herd of over 50 colourful elephant sculptures, and will be sponsored by Signs Express.

The elephants will be spread across Sheffield from July 11th to October 5th, creating an interactive trail, and you can use the Herd of Sheffield app to collect points for each elephant spotted.

The event has been put together by The Children’s Hospital Charity and public arts event organiser Wild in Art, while Signs Express is providing free signage on the elephants and sponsoring one elephant called Forest Spirit, designed by street artist Faunagraphic.

“We have a great relationship with The Children’s Hospital Charity and have worked with them on numerous projects, so we really appreciate being able to work with them again and on such a fabulous occasion,” says Steve Morris, owner of Signs Express Sheffield.

He continues: “The event itself is going to be amazing fun for all the family. Our team are really looking forward to showing their families around the trail.”

Clare Collingworth, corporate fundraiser for The Children’s Hospital Charity, adds: “It’s been brilliant collaborating with Signs Express and we really appreciate the level of support they’ve given us throughout the Herd of Sheffield project.

“Not only have Signs Express sponsored their own beautiful elephant, their plaques will ensure that each member of the Herd can stand proudly next to their name and description.”
