the Suffolk Show

The Trail goes live!

Find out how you can be part of the Big Hoot. Volunteering, fundraising, you can even WIN a Hoot!
Thank you to all of our supporting partners that have been inspired to be part of the event.
From 19 June to 3 September 2022, St Elizabeth Hospice is bringing a Wild in Art Trail to Ipswich, and we hope you are as excited as we are!
Following the successes of Elmer’s Big Parade in 2019 and Pigs Gone Wild in 2016 our next trail will see 50 individually designed Big Hoot owls placed around Ipswich for everyone to see and enjoy.
Visitors will also be able to meet our Little Hoot owls, who will be popping up in special locations all across town; designed by local schools and groups.
Each of our Big Hoots will be sponsored by a local business and individually decorated by an artist, and at the end of the trail the Big Hoots will be auctioned to raise valuable, much needed funds for St Elizabeth Hospice services providing care and support to those living with life-limiting or progressive illness.
The Big and Little Hoots will attract thousands of local families, residents and visitors to Ipswich and in turn contribute financial benefits to the local economy.
Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you on the trail.
