We’re delighted to welcome Karen as she shares insights into the inspiring Lions at Large initiative – a powerful celebration of Gloucestershire’s rich heritage, vibrant culture, and diverse communities. This unique public art trail will feature over 30 striking lion sculptures, each brought to life by the creativity of talented local artists. They’ll be joined by the Cub Club – a charming collection of smaller lions lovingly crafted by local schools and community groups.
This free, family-friendly event will transform our streets, parks, and public spaces with colour, creativity, and community spirit. It’s a chance for everyone to explore, connect, and take pride in the place we call home.
The pride will reunite for a special farewell weekend at the end of the trail, before the little lions return to their forever homes with the schools and groups who created them.
Join us for the Business Breakfast – a fantastic opportunity to network with fellow professionals and discover more about this landmark project. Held in the elegant Mandarin Restaurant at Cheltenham Racecourse, the morning includes a delicious breakfast accompanied by tea and coffee.
Doors open at 8:30am, with the event concluding by 10:00am. All local businesses and interested guests are warmly welcome.
