A new sculpture trail has come to Southend-on-Sea in Essex this year. Across the city, there are over 30 large hare sculptures and 50 smaller hares, all painted differently by local artists for the community. The sculptures are in place for ten weeks from the beginning of July until the 12th of September, so you still have a little bit of time left to see them. My visit to Southend-on-Sea to visit the hare sculptures took place at the beginning of this month.

The hares will be auctioned after the trail ends for local charity Havens Hospices, but before they are auctioned, they will also all be on display in one place for a final visit.
