ABOUT THE BIG DOG ART TRAIL: From 15th July until 3rd September 2023, 72 individually painted balloon-shaped dog sculptures are being displayed around Swindon for all to enjoy.
The Big Dog Art Trail features 30 Swindogs, with stunning designs created by national and local artists, and 42 Swinpups created by local schools, youth and community groups.
The Swindogs have all been sponsored and paid for by the local business community and Swindon Borough Council has supported the trail’s Learning Programme for schools.
Covering a 16-mile trail around town, this unmissable FREE family event is taking locals and visitors on a tour of Swindon’s finest landmarks, retailers, streets, parks and public spaces and is fully accessible.
After the trail ends on 3rd September, the complete pack of Swindogs and Swinpups will be brought together for a grand Farewell Weekend on 16th and 17th September at Swindon’s historic STEAM Museum, before they are auctioned on 19th September. All of the money raised will go to Julia’s House, which relies almost entirely on public funding to provide its lifeline of care to local families.
