Gromit Unleashed 3: The Grand Appeal unveils bonus trail happening this summer- here's what you need to know

The Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity, has announced four exciting new miniature Wallace & Gromit and Feathers McGraw artefacts that will be joining the much-loved Gromit Unleashed 3 trail this August.

The mini collection will be found at the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, starting with a duo of bronzes created and donated by Castle Fine Arts Foundry, signed by Nick Park.

The first bronze features the iconic duo with Gromit sitting patiently on a bench ever watchful and wise, while Wallace bursts into one of his trademark wacky positions wearing the iconic Wrong Trousers.

The second bronze features the infamous Feathers McGraw controlling Wallace’s madcap trousers.

The third item of the collection reimagines Feathers as the subject of the iconic Vermeer masterpiece Girl with a Pearl Earring. But instead of a pearl, Feathers sports a dazzling diamond earring in this miniature oil painting created by Giuliana Terran, adding a dash of mischief and sparkle to this classic work of art.

The final item of the collection is Tom Astley’s ‘The Chicken and the Egg’, a Fabergé-inspired homage, meticulously crafted with intricate details and shimmering finishes, to capture the evil penguin’s sneaky charm as an opulent treasure.

The four artefacts will be hidden throughout the museum, amongst the venue’s existing collections, encouraging intrepid trail fans to explore to find these secret surprises throughout August.

Nicola Masters, director, The Grand Appeal, comments: “We’re so excited for people to discover these brilliant new additions to the trail. Each one is packed with charm and celebrates everything we all know and love about Aardman’s iconic characters.”
