Hop, skip and jump! 96 @officialpeterrabbit sculptures hopped into Newcastle & North Tyneside, capturing hearts and raising funds for @stoswaldsuk 💙
talesonthetynetrail
Prepare to be dazzled! ✨🪩
It’s not long until our fabulous fluffle of @officialpeterrabbit sculptures go under the hammer at auction, raising funds for @stoswaldsuk. Could one of them be hopping home with you? 💙
If you fancy owning a true showstopper, we highly recommend Lot 1 , The Dazzling Tale of Peter Rabbit, created by @natalie_ratcliffe_ and sponsored by @my_metro.
This sparkly sensation will bring drama and excitement wherever it goes, as it creates a disco-ball effect when the light hits it. This lot has already attracted a lot of attention, and rightly so. It was made to stand out and is proud to be kicking off our auction in style! 🕺
You can place your bids on The Dazzling Tale of Peter Rabbit – or another of our 40 lots – by registering to bid online now. Tickets are also on sale to attend in person and bid live.

It’s not goodbye…it’s see you soon! 👋🐰
Last night, the final few @officialpeterrabbit sculptures made their way back to their burrow, thanks to some nifty forklift driving and a big flatbed lorry from our friends at @jradamstransport, @mpplanttraining and @applebridgefamily. 💙
The fluffle may no longer be decorating our streets, parks and public spaces, but its not the last you have seen of them! They’ll be cleaned, polished and made ready for the Farewell Weekend, where you’ll have one last chance to see the whole fluffle together before they hop off to their new homes! 🏡

It’s almost @great_run weekend, and our fluffle of @officialpeterrabbit sculptures would like to wish the very best of luck to everyone taking part in the Mini & Junior Great North Run on Saturday and the Great North Run on Sunday. 🏃
A special shout-out goes to the 350 adults and children running for @stoswaldsuk. Your hop-tastic support means so much to us. If you spot one of our runners over the weekend, please give them a huge cheer! 💙
And if you’re heading to the Quayside on Saturday, be sure to stop by and say hello to our very stylish rabbit, The Great North Bun! Created by CRiS StewART of @ne_toon, this amazing sculpture celebrates the world’s most famous half marathon, featuring iconic moments from the route and much-loved North East landmarks.
Can’t bear to say goodbye to The Great North Bun? You could give him a fur-ever home! He’s Lot 32 in the trail auction. Details of both the online and in-person auctions can be found via the link in the bio.
We hop to see you there! 🐰
P.S. Swipe to see The Great North Bun come to life behind the scenes! 🧑🎨
