One of Bristols Best - goodbye Gromit!

A fabulous 10 weeks of great Gromits popping up in all things green and brick. They’ve come and given a trail, an adventure a meaning to look around our great city, but sadly now they must go.

Having been a huge success throughout Bristol , with more than 200,000 people picking up a mad and 45,000 people downloading the specialist gromit finder - detect-o-matic Gromit-app raising a fantastic £20,000 for the Bristol Children's Hospital that the Grand Appeal supports.

The city was supported in all of it’s glory , museums and restaurants saw company figures almost double throughout the summer, making the Gromits an even more welcomed as visitors.

All 80 Gromits were designed by a great range of artists and celebrities - making a cracking , exciting and buzz bursting collection. The likes of Zayn Malik from One Direction and Joanna Lumley designed Gromits with poetry in motion and comic superhero themes. To boost ratings even further Buzz Lightyear and Elvis showed up through the eyes of our furry Bristolian friend.

A wonderful group of 630 adventure hungry explorers dedicated time and effort into finding all 80 Gromits, not just in our lovely Bristol but even further afield in Paddington and Cheddar Gorge, whilst over 3,000 met up with more than half of the shiny pups.

The gorgeous group have now been reunited and are receiving some much needed TLC , having ten weeks in the city has been an exhausting journey and one Bristol will remember fondly - only time will tell on how much more money we can raise for the hospital and our children - the collection of loveable Gromits will be auctioned off at the RWA in Clifton on October 3rd.

All we can say is , it’ll be nice to have them home, they’ve certainly been our best friend this summer!
