Calling all teachers and community youth group leaders!
We invite your school, or group to be inspired, get imaginative and join in with the most creative event of 2026.
Your children will have the opportunity to decorate their very own little Peter Rabbit sculpture and raise funds for St Oswald’s Hospice by taking part in an art adventure featuring this much-loved and instantly recognisable character.
Along with the rest of the Peter Rabbit sculptures, yours will be displayed throughout summer 2026 at venues across the city for everyone to admire and enjoy. After the trail, the little Peter Rabbits will be returned to their creators (that’s you!) to keep forever.
By being part of Peter Rabbit™: Tales on the Tyne, you will raise the profile of your school or group, give the young people an exciting learning opportunity and make a difference to your local hospice.
Our learning programme pack containing more details will be ready soon. For now, register your interest by filling out the form below.
