Thank you for waddling with us!
This summer, Worcester transformed into a free, fun art trail when forty big penguin sculptures went on display for eight weeks alongside forty chicks.
Each large sculpture was been sponsored by a business and individually designed by an artist – either well-known or just starting out, from the Worcestershire area or further afield. The penguin chicks were designed by local schools and community groups.
They waddled in on Monday, 22 July before leaving us all on Sunday, 15 September 2024.
After this, there was a chance to say a final ‘goodbye’ at Farewell Events, before each big penguin was auctioned to raise funds for St Richard’s Hospice and each chick returned to its forever home with schools and community groups.
The great Waddle of Worcester was brought to the city by St Richard’s Hospice and Wild in Art.
Around 80% of St Richard’s Hospice funding comes from generous people like you. Because of you we can put our arms around patients and loves ones in the most difficult of times, just as penguins huddle together when the cold winds blow.
Thank you for being part of the great Waddle of Worcester 2024 and supporting our hospice huddle.
