The Big Dog Art Trail (Swindogs)

About

On your barks, get set… go! The world's first art trail to feature dog-shaped balloons is coming to Swindon on 15th July to 3rd September 2023.

The Big Dog Art Trail includes 30 Swindogs (around 2m in height) and 42 smaller ones – known as 'Swinpups'. Covering a 16 mile radius, this unmissable FREE family event will take visitors on a tour of Swindon's finest landmarks, re-TAILers, streets, parks and public spaces.

The Big Dog Art Trail is a community project presented by Julia's House in partnership with Wild in Art, raising vital funds for the Wiltshire-based Julia's House Children's Hospice charity.

On 16th and 17th September 2023, the complete pack of Swindogs and Swinpups will be brought together at various locations including Swindon's historic STEAM Museum, providing the perfect opportunity to combine art, history and shopping in one PAWsome day out for all the family. On 19th September, the dogs will be auctioned off at the STEAM Museum to raise vital funds for Julia's House, before heading off to their FURever homes.
