Get your paws on a piece of the Pride of Yorkshire at this Sunday's auction

Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity’s region-wide sculpture trail will culminate in two auctions this month as its pride will go under the hammer!

THIS SUNDAY (11 October), the Pride will head to Hilton Garden Inn in Doncaster as sculptures including That's How It's Don by local artist Sarah Smizz (which was found outside Doncaster Train Station throughout the trail) will be auctioned off. Other sculptures in this auction include:

- Roar of the Rovers by Adam Briscoe (themed to Doncaster Rovers and located outside Eco-Power Stadium during the trail)

- Graffiti Queen by Glen Brooks (found outside Mansion House during the trail)

- Courage by Lisa Maltby (found outside Doncaster Minster during the trail)

By bidding on a Pride of Yorkshire sculpture, you’re not only picking up a legacy piece for your home or business, but you’re contributing to the transformation of the Emergency Department at Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

The trail is helping Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity to raise £6.3 million to contribute towards the redevelopment, which – when complete – will offer children and young people a calm, child-friendly space that reduces anxiety and supports recovery.

Bids for the sculptures will start at £2,000 and you’ve got to be in it to win it! Details of the auctions and how to sign up can be found below:
Sunday 11 October – Doncaster Hilton Garden Inn – 2pm – 8.30pm
Sunday 18 October – Sheffield Crucible Theatre – 2pm – 10.15pm

You can bid in-person, online, over the phone and by proxy. The full auction catalogue, a guide for bidders, lot orders, FAQs and the form to register to bid can be found at prideofyorkshire.org/auction

Don’t miss this opportunity to own a unique work of art and support a fantastic cause.

About Pride of Yorkshire:
Pride of Yorkshire is the UK’s largest charity sculpture trail and saw thousands of people pick up maps and collect lions online over the summer. The trail is celebrating 150 years of Sheffield Children’s, and set 300 life-sized lions, lionesses and cubs loose across South Yorkshire.

Each of the 150 adult lion and lioness sculptures have been painted by artists from South Yorkshire and beyond, and the 150 cub sculptures were created by schools & community groups – who now get to keep them!

The trail follows in the paw-prints of Bears of Sheffield and Herd of Sheffield.
