I spent last weekend visiting Norwich and Norfolk to see the latest sculpture trail for the city. Norwich's sculpture trail started with the success of GoGoGorillas! in 2013, and that was my first ever visit to the city. In 2015, GoGoDragons! came to Norwich. This year, the city has hares or rabbits for GoGoHares! GoGoHares! aims to raise money for charities such as Break, which raises money to help young people, by auctioning off the sculptures, taking donations, and selling other merchandise. The sculptures will be on display until the 8th of September, and they will then go into auction to raise money for the charity.

I enjoy the sculpture trails and visiting the sculptures because all of them are unique and have been painted by an artist. Families go out to visit them and get their photographs with them, which creates a great atmosphere. The hares are really creative this year, and fifty of them can be seen in Norwich city itself. The others require transportation to the different areas in Norfolk to see, and a couple of them have a fairly long walk to visit.

To see the hares, visit before September 8. I believe that the hares will all be together in one place before the auction in the autumn, so visit http://www.gogohares.co.uk for more information about the sculptures, the trail, and the charity.
