So 2020 sees another trail featuring Aardman’s characters from Wallace and Gromit. This one though is much shorter and all the sculptures are at the Mall at Cribbs Causeway.
Before lockdown we managed to find them all within a couple of hours.

At the Mall there is a Gromit trail.
This is Alex the Lion.
Featuring Wallace, Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Feathers McGraw, The Grand Adventure will see 15 sculptures pup-up in various locations around The Mall – launching on Saturday, 24 October. You’ll be able to travel around the world visiting brand new designs, as well as firm favourites from previous trails, each representing a different country.
Alex the Lion was in the 2018 trail and was one of my favourite sculptures that year and I think Gromit works very well as a lion.
Alex the lion is a character from the Madagascar films.
Gromit as a lion? Well 29. Alex the Lion is one of my favourite sculptures this year and I think Gromit works very well as a lion.
Alex the lion is a character from the Madagascar films. I like the mane effect.
Alex can be found just outside the MShed guarding the Harbourside. I was a little surprised that there are three Gromit in and around the MShed and a Wallace in Whapping Wharf. Not quite sure I understand why they grouped these, but then put others in the middle of nowhere! Ah well.
Back in 2015 I attempted to see and photograph all 70 Shaun the Sheeps I managed to get 62. This time I am aiming to get all 67 sculptures. I have created this page to record all the sculptures we find. Download the app to find the sculptures.
