Hop, skip and jump into an art adventure for everyone to enjoy!
Wednesday 15th July – Monday 14th September 2026
Peter Rabbit™: Tales on the Tyne is a glorious celebration of everything we love about our region. Its beautiful parks, bustling streets and public spaces will come alive with colour and conversations, as our collection of individually designed and painted Peter Rabbit sculptures bring joy (and a little bit of mischief) to the summer of 2026.
A dedicated trail map and App will help you navigate your way to discovering each sculpture, where you can unlock a series of rewards and fun facts.
Local schools and community groups will also have an exciting opportunity to decorate their own little Peter Rabbit sculpture, which will form its own mini trail and take over venues across Newcastle. This learning programme will help to engage and inspire people to unleash their ideas and creativity.
Following the public trail, the large Peter Rabbits will be auctioned off to raise vital funds and awareness of St Oswald’s Hospice, allowing the charity to continue their vital work with North East families with life-limiting conditions.
This summer, a fluffle of @officialpeterrabbit sculptures will take over the streets, parks and public buildings of Newcastle and North Tyneside – and there is still chance for businesses to be part of the fun! 🐰
Almost all of our large sculptures have now been sponsored but we do have a small amount of beautiful designs still up for grabs. With the artists now busy at work transforming them (Psss… check out some BTS from our latest artist highlight on our profile 👀🎨) time is running out. ⏳
Businesses who sponsor a sculpture will unlock a host of benefits, while supporting the work of @stoswaldsuk as a key part of the region’s most colourful summer mass participation event.
Hear from @sarahmainsresidential, @my_metro, @soprasteria_group and @geabcareers, about why they decided to hop on board as a trail sponsor, in our video from the recent Artist and Sponsor Matching Event. 💙

If there were a @guinnessworldrecords for the fastest group of corporate sponsors hopping across a @crowneplazancl hotel function room to slap stickers on a wall of @officialpeterrabbit designs, we’re fairly sure this lot would be immortalised in print. 🏆

We know you all love a little sneak peek into what goes on behind the scenes here at Tales on the Tyne HQ! A couple of weeks ago, we gathered with our trail Art Curators, James and Victoria, along with the teams from The World of @officialpeterrabbit™ and @wildinart, for the exciting – but incredibly tough – task of shortlisting designs for this year’s trail. 🐰
We were blown away to receive over 450 submissions from artists, each bringing unique ideas, styles and stories. Shortlisting them was no easy task! 🎨
After several hours of careful discussion, we finalised the shortlist. These selected designs will be showcased at a special event at the end of the month, where our trail sponsors will view the artworks and choose their favourites. The chosen artists will then be commissioned to bring their creations to life, ready for the big trail launch in July. Trust us… the designs are stunning, and this is going to be a trail to remember! 🐰💙
All artists have now been contacted to let them know whether their design has been selected for the matching event or not.
