What is the Unicorn Festival?
Unicornfest is an event happening over the Summer that will see dozens of beautifully painted unicorns on the streets of Bristol city centre.
The city sculpture trail aims to raise money for Leukaemia Care through fundraising during the event. It is a family friendly event that celebrates the magic and mystical beauty of unicorns and Bristol’s 650th Anniversary.
The trail has 60 life-sized unicorns that have been designed and painted by a group of talented, local artists.
You can find unicorns across Bristol from the city centre out to Clifton suspension bridge. There’s a map to download showing all the unicorn locations. This can be found on the free downloadable app ‘Unicornfest’. In addition, paper maps are available from the Leukaemia Care shop in Bristol. An excellent, fun activity for the Summer school holidays.
