Charity bull sculptures set to be auctioned

Bull sculptures used to created a public art trail will be auctioned off on Thursday to raise money for charity.

The 40 large colourful models will go under the hammer at an event at Millennium Point with all funds going to Birmingham Hospice.

The sculptured creations, inspired by the Bullring bull, were decorated by local artists and placed in locations across Birmingham earlier in 2025.

Lucy Watkins, from the hospice, said she felt "incredibly lucky" for the support shown throughout the Bulls in the City trail.

"The funds raised through this auction will directly support our services and help us continue delivering compassionate care across Birmingham," she added.

Most of the bulls were placed around the city centre, with four on Harborne High Street and three on Boldmere High Street.

Each one featured a unique design ranging from murals celebrating local history to others which were made to look like dragons or tigers.
