Family favourite Peter Rabbit will celebrate 125 years in style in Worcester next summer, as 35 large and 40 smaller rabbit sculptures - decorated by students and community groups - will be scattered among Worcester landmarks in a new 'Peter Rabbit in the warrens of Worcester' trail.

The mischievous bunny was created by Beatrix Potter, and first appeared in The Tale of Peter Rabbit 125 years ago. Peter has since delighted children down the generations, and now hops into Worcester to celebrate this very special anniversary. 

Just like their penguin, giraffe and ele-friends before them - who popped up in the city's previous trails of 2018, 2021 and 2024 - the St Richard’s Hospice fluffle of rabbits is on a mission to entice people outdoors, encouraging city-wide exploring, and create lasting memories.

A Wild in Art trail of over thirty-five large Peter Rabbit sculptures will go on display for eight weeks alongside around forty little Peter Rabbits, designed by local schools and community groups. Each sculpture will be sponsored by a business and individually designed by an artist - either well-known or just starting out, from the Worcestershire area or further afield.

Schools and community groups wishing to take part were entered into a 'Bunny Ballot', which after a huge surge of interest has now closed. The successful applicants will be letting their imaginations run wild and getting ready to get creative!
