Running from 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) throughout summer 2026.
For nine weeks, 96 colourful sculptures, inspired by Peter Rabbit, will capture your hearts – and this page has all the info you need to make the most of it!
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.

Ears up, Newcastle and North Tyneside! Something very exciting is hopping into town…👀🐰
A whole fluffle of @officialpeterrabbit sculptures are strapped to the back of a lorry, hopping off to their tem-paw-rary summer homes across the region! 🐰☀️
They’re making tracks, one hop at a time, and getting ready to settle into their new burrows before the trail begins!
A massive thank you to the fantastic teams at @applebridgefamily, @mpplanttraining and @jradamstransport for helping our sculptures get safely into place and making the trail installation happen.
