In Summer 2026, Newcastle and North Tyneside will host a large-scale art trail of sculptures based on the much-loved character created by Beatrix Potter. Peter Rabbit™: Tales on the Tyne offers you an unique opportunity to have your art showcased to a wide audience as part of this mass participation event.
St Oswald’s Hospice is working in partnership with Wild in Art and The World of Peter Rabbit to bring colour, conversation and creativity to the region’s streets, parks and public buildings and we are now seeking artists, designers and illustrators to create engaging designs that will transform our ‘fluffle’ of Peter Rabbits from blank canvasses to pieces of art that will inspire and delight.
Thank you to all our talented trail artists who helped bring our 43 super-sized sculptures, inspired by Beatrix Potter’s famous creation, Peter Rabbit™.
We had hundreds of brilliant design submissions shared with us, making choosing the final selection very difficult. We think the finished results are spectacular and are n awe od the skill and creativity of those who spent spring bringing our fluffle to life.
Many of the artists livre and work in the north east and it just shows how much talent we have in our region.
Peter Rabbit™: Tales on the Tyne Grand Finale Auction
The finale event of Tales on the Tyne will see the sculptures under the spotlight one last time, finding their forever homes at auction.
Almost all of the large sculptures will go under the hammer in a bidding spectacular, with funds raised supporting the work of St Oswald’s Hospice. There will also be a live online auction running in sync with the ‘in the room’ bids, which is guaranteed to build the excitement and healthy competition to snap up one of these unique pieces of art.

Our lovely Tyne-tastic Peter has had to hop away from his usual spot on Newcastle Quayside, for some essential repairs. He’s safe and sound and being well looked after.
His app code is still displayed on the plinth so can be collected if you visit. We hope to return him to the trail soon.
