Herd In The City Stomps into Southend

This summer, a free, family art trail that leaves an impression will be stomping into Southend-on-Sea. Herd In The City – created by Havens Hospices and Wild in Art - will see over 45 large elephant sculptures dotted around the city from Friday 14th July to Monday 4th September, including Shoeburyness and Leighon-Sea. Each one has been sponsored by a local business and painted by a professional artist in varying styles.

“Herd In The City will offer everyone a great day out, exploring parts of the city they may not have visited before, and raise thousands of pounds for the free, specialist hospice care Havens Hospices provides for local adults, children, and their families.”

To keep up with the herd and to post your ‘ele-selfies’ from the trail, visit www.herdinthe.city or follow on social media
