One-of-a-kind Treasure Island Gromit could be yours!

Gromit Unleashed 3 is in full swing, but fans of the trail are in for a special, swashbuckling treat… the chance to win their very own Gromit.

That’s right, one lucky person is in with the chance of winning a spectacular, one-of-a-kind Gromit sculpture through The Grand Appeal raffle.

But this is no ordinary Gromit, this 5-feet-tall paw-some pup is called Treasured Island and is inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic swashbuckling adventure. He’s been hand-painted by Laura Hallett, a Bristol-based artist and illustrator and is sponsored by S&W. 

‘Treasured Island’ is spending its summer ashore at St Mary Redcliffe, where this seafaring sculpture can be seen in all its glory, until the Gromit Unleashed 3 trail ends on Sunday 31^st August.

After the sculpture trail ends, he’ll travel to The Greatest Dog Show on Earth® exhibition at Cribbs Mall, where he can be seen alongside the complete cast of Gromit Unleashed 3, from Saturday 13^th September to Sunday 28^th September. 

Then, the Gromits will move on to auction. The raffle presents an opportunity to own your own without needing to outbid auction attendees. 

Tickets to enter the raffle cost just £5, and individuals can purchase up to 20 tickets per person. The raffle will close on Friday, 3^rd October at 11 am. The winner will be chosen on the same day.

Nicola Masters, director at The Grand Appeal, comments: “Fancy seeing this loveable pooch guarding your treasure? For just £5, you could be the captain who brings Gromit home!

“Each raffle ticket not only puts you in the running for Bristol’s favourite canine sidekick but also helps The Grand Appeal fund vital and life-changing support at Bristol Children’s Hospital and St Michael’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.”

Gromit Unleashed 3 is still underway, set to conclude on 31^st August, but its impact and success can already be felt across the city.  The city and the trail have also become a destination for those beyond Bristol, with tourists and visitors coming to the city, for the sole purpose of experiencing the Gromit Unleashed 3 Trail.

To see the full cast at The Greatest Dog Show on Earth in September, get your tickets from The Grand Appeal site, priced at £6 for adults and £4 for children  plus booking fees.
