The next sculpture trail for Norwich has been revealed with not one but five majestic beasts. 

East Anglian charity Break is bringing gorillas back to the city - and they will be bringing some friends. 

Elephants, giraffes, rhinos and lions will also be marching their way into Norwich and around the county for GoGoSafari 2025.

Break’s senior partnerships and projects manager Peter Marron said: “We’re extremely proud to be bringing another trail to Norwich and Norfolk – and this time with a really exciting new twist. 

“We know how popular the gorillas were and we can’t wait to see which animal out of our big five will be people’s new favourite. 

“Our trails really are fantastic projects to be involved in but they really wouldn’t be possible without the amazing support we get from the public.  

“Our focus now for GoGoSafari is getting the sponsors for each of the sculptures. 

“We can’t wait to see what the artists come up with to bring these magnificent animals to life ready to hit the streets next year.”

Break, which supports young people from care, will deliver the trail in partnership with Wild in Art and the Zoological Society of East Anglia alongside presenting partners Norwich Bid and Chantry Place.  

Taking place for around 10 weeks in the summer of 2025, the charity is hoping to have around 50 sculptures across the city and county.

Each will be sponsored by a business that will choose from designs submitted by artists to bring their sculptures to life. 

 

GoGoSafari will be the fifth Break trail in Norwich, with T.rex and mammoth sculptures proving popular in 2022 - raising close to £500,000.

The charity’s big five will also be joined by the 'Mini G', a smaller version of the giraffe sculpture, as part of GoGoSafari’s Learning and Community Programme. 

This will see more than 10,000 young people from local schools and community groups decorate their own Mini G, which will be returned to them once the trail has finished as their very own keepsake.
