    OxTrail is Oxfordshire’s first ever sculpture trail, raising funds for Sobell House Hospice.

    A team of over 30 life sized ox sculptures will be herded into positions throughout Oxford in the summer of 2024, creating an engaging, exciting event for the city its residents, businesses and visitors.

    Each of the oxen will be uniquely decorated by local and international artists to form a vibrant and family friendly trail. Across eight weeks, OxTrail will encourage locals and visitors of all ages to explore Oxford’s iconic attractions, find some hidden gems, and engage with the community.

    Care home fundraising

    To get involved, you’ll need to commit to a fundraising target to help cover the cost of the fibreglass ox that you get to keep afterwards. We are asking each home to raise £1,000 to take part. You could ask for the support of local businesses. We will provide fundraising resources, advice and support, as well as a blank mini ox (approx 1.3m ( x 0.8m ( x 0.4m (width), ready for your residents to paint with your own unique design.

    Resources will be available to support engagement with OxTrail for residents, loved ones and staff aswell as information about Sobell House, its services and support

    Finally, we will provide tools to help with the creation of your fabulous ox design.
