Unless you’ve had your head in the sand over the past few days, you’ll have noticed dozens of unicorns have appeared across Bristol, mainly in the city centre.
With all different colours and patterns, the sculptures have been installed as part of UnicornFest to raise money for Leukaemia Care charity, and there are more than 50 in the city.
And so with the sun out, we decided to put cap and sunglasses on and see how many we can search out (using the UnicornFest app) in under three hours, starting in St Werburghs.
First stop was IKEA where I found the first unicorn of the day - Lunacorn - and a few unicorn foals painted by schools outside the entrance. I scanned the unicorn’s QR code on the Unicornfest which unlocked a cute animation of a vinyl unicorn doll in a box with Lunacorn’s name.
Next stop was inside the store where I came across the Attic Treasure unicorn before continuing my journey to the Memorial Stadium before completing a few stops on Gloucester Road and surrounding streets.
I then went through the city centre where a large cluster of unicorns live, before heading to Brandon Hill, Anchor Road, Redcliffe Way, Temple Meads and the Trinity Centre.
I met a lot of people from different age ranges, including families with grandparents, children and their parents and solo adventurers searching for unicorns.
Here are the 26 unicorns I discovered along the trail:
13. Unicorn-On-The-Cob by Emma Barnie
Unicorn-On-The-Cob is sponsored by Deazy and can be found in Castle Park, opposite Cafe Nero. The unicorn has some damage to the paint on the face and main body. | Adriana Amor
14. The Golden Unicorn by Bo Lanyon
The Golden Unicorn can be found in Welsh Back next to the Merchant Navy Association Bristol Memorial. The unicorn takes inspiration from the golden unicorn on the roof of City Hall. There are some small scratches on the paint coat | Adriana Amor
15. Ambition of Bristol by Emma Elena Mihai from Percy Thomas Architects
Ambition of Bristol is sponsored by LDC and can be found in front of Bristol Cathedral. The unicorn represents a map of Bristol highlighting the main cultural places in the city where all the unicorn sculptures can be found. | Adriana Amor
16. Gemini’s Nebula by Laura Erviti
Gemini's Nebula is sponsored by Gilead and can be found in Brandon Hill near the children's playground. The design "explains Sophie’s experience as a Leukaemia patient. She had her room decorated with unicorns and her loved ones would bring her presents with unicorns and pink. Shooting stars represent the wish and hope to get better." | Adriana Amor
