A housebuilder is the latest business to support an event which will see Worcester transformed into a fun, free art space in summer 2027.

Lioncourt Homes is to sponsor one of 35 large sculptures in Peter Rabbit™ in the warrens of Worcester.

“We build thoughtfully designed homes where communities flourish, so it felt a natural fit to support an event which is all about bringing people together. We are really looking forward to choosing a sculpture design which reflects our commitment to quality, character and sense of place and, in turn, supports the incredible care provided by St Richard’s Hospice.”

— Colin Cole, Chief Executive at Lioncourt Homes

The trail begins on Monday, 12 July and will run for eight weeks until Sunday, 5 September 2027. Seventy-five fibreglass rabbit figures, large and small, will bring joy – and a little bit of mischief – to Worcester’s streets and public spaces to form an interactive art trail.

Peter Rabbit™ in the warrens of Worcester Waddle of Worcester is a Wild in Art event brought to the city by St Richard’s Hospice.

“Our fourth city art trail is an opportunity for us to thank our amazing community for its incredible support in our 43years caring for patients and loved ones. It’s also a chance to celebrate our beautiful city and artistic talent here in the county, so we’re delighted to welcome Lioncourt Homes as a brand-new sponsor who shares our passion for quality design.”

— Sara Matthews, Business Development Manager, St Richard’s Hospice
