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. 💙

They came. They hopped. They conquered. 🐰
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. 🏆
Tales on the Tyne sponsors, we salute your hopping prowess, competitive spirit, and excellent sense of fun. 💙😁

Last night was quite something! ✨🐰
@crowneplazancl was taken over by a whole fluffle of excited rabbits – aka our Tales on the Tyne trail sponsors – for our Artist & Sponsor Matching event. 🤝
After an hour of checking out the shortlisted designs (and plenty of nervous debating), our brilliant sponsors took on The Bunny Hop, bouncing their way to claim their favourite @officialpeterrabbit™ design. They absolutely nailed it. Huge thanks to them for being such good sports. 💙
🎨 Our final designs are now confirmed
🖌️ Artists will start painting soon
📅 The trail opens this July
