By next summer, the unicorns will be brightly decorated by local artists<\/p>

A herd of life-sized unicorn statues will be displayed across a city next summer to raise money for charity.<\/strong><\/p>

Leukaemia Care will put on the nine-week art trail in Bristol which will see sculptures of the majestic creatures decorated by local artists.<\/p>

Like previous trails, including Wow! Gorillas<\/strong><\/a><\/span> and Gromit Unleashed<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, it will end with an auction.<\/p>

The chief executive officer of Leukaemia Care said they hope to “lift spirits” in the local community.<\/p>

Joining the main herd will be a collection of adorable one-metre tall unicorn foals exclusively available to schools, community groups and charities to decorate and display.<\/p>

CEO Zack Pemberton-Whiteley said: “The aim of this exciting, high profile, public art event is to celebrate Bristol’s unique heritage.<\/p>

“Bristol has a long history with unicorns and we want to recognise that through fantastic artwork and storytelling about the city.”<\/p>

The unicorns will appear in prominent locations around the city<\/p>

Unicornfest is a part of the 650th anniversary celebrations of Bristol achieving corporate county status way back in 1155, which aim to unite the business and creative sectors.<\/p>

There is also history between the city and unicorns with the mythical creature featured on the city seal, representing the idea of virtue.<\/p>

The sculptures will be decorated by Bristol artists including Inkie and children from St Werburgh’s Park Nursey school.<\/p>

Other talented local and regional artists, designers and crafts people are also being invited to submit their unicorn design ideas.<\/p>

These will be shortlisted and combined into a ‘Unicorn Artists’ portfolio, which sponsors can browse and select their favourite unicorn designs.<\/p>

The trail will end with a Unicornfest auction preview festival for unicorn fans of all ages to say their final farewells before the group of unicorns are sent off to be auctioned.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
