Hay & Kilner hops behind St Oswald's Hospice Art Trail

Hay & Kilner is proud to be supporting St Oswald's Hospice as a sponsor of one of the sculptures in this summer's Peter Rabbit™: Tales on the Tyne art trail, which is now live across Newcastle and North Tyneside.

The free public art trail, presented by St Oswald's Hospice, invites visitors to explore beautifully decorated Peter Rabbit sculptures while discovering more about the region and supporting an important local cause.

Hay & Kilner's sponsored sculpture, Midsummer, has been designed by local artist Julie Fleming and can be found on Northumberland Street throughout the trail.

Visitors can download the official trail app or pick up a trail map to navigate between sculptures, unlock rewards and learn more about the artwork. Those who visit Midsummer can also scan the sculpture to receive 20% off a dessert at Soufflé Baby, making it the perfect stop during a day exploring the city.

The trail not only offers a fun, free activity for families and visitors over the summer but also raises awareness of the vital work carried out by St Oswald's Hospice. At the end of the trail, the large Peter Rabbit sculptures will be auctioned to raise funds to help the hospice continue providing specialist care and support to local children, young people, adults and their families.

Hay & Kilner has a longstanding relationship with St Oswald's Hospice, having previously supported the charity as the firm's Charity of the Year, and is delighted to continue that partnership through this exciting community initiative.

Michelle McBride, Senior Marketing Manager at Hay & Kilner, said:

"St Oswald's Hospice is a charity that means a great deal to us. Having previously supported the hospice as our Charity of the Year, we've seen first-hand the incredible difference it makes to individuals and families across our region during some of the most difficult times in their lives.

"We're delighted to sponsor Midsummer as part of Peter Rabbit™: Tales on the Tyne. It's a fantastic way to bring people together, celebrate creativity and shine a spotlight on the vital work of St Oswald's Hospice. We know just how important the hospice is to so many people in our community, and we're proud to play a small part in helping raise awareness and support for its essential services."

The Peter Rabbit™: Tales on the Tyne trail runs throughout the summer and is free for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're taking part with family, friends or colleagues, be sure to look out for Midsummer on Northumberland Street and join us in supporting St Oswald's Hospice.
