We are excited to reveal that Colmore Business District (BID) is a proud sponsor of the Bulls in the City art trail coming to the city this summer, all in support of Birmingham Hospice.
As part of our commitment in supporting local arts and community initiatives, we have sponsored two magnificent bull sculptures that will be showcased in city-centre locations from 16 July – 14 September 2025.
Colmore BID has sponsored a large bull sculpture that will form part of the city-wide art trail, based on the iconic Bullring bull.
In addition, the team is delighted to also be sponsoring a small bull sculpture for St John’s and St Peter’s C of E School in Ladywood. This initiative aims to inspire and engage young minds as children design and decorate the smaller sculpture for display in a shop window around Colmore Row.
Bulls in the City, in partnership with renowned art trail producers Wild in Art, will bring together artists, businesses and the community to create stunning public art displays. The trail will feature bulls in various locations throughout Birmingham, each uniquely designed by local artists. Visitors can explore the trail from the 16 July to 14 September 2025 and discover the stories behind each sculpture.
At the end of the trail, all sculptures will be auctioned off to raise as much money as possible for Birmingham Hospice, a local charity which provides expert palliative and end of life care to people living with a terminal diagnosis.
Nicola Fleet-Milne, Chair of the Colmore BID Board said: “At Colmore BID, we are passionate about supporting initiatives that enhance the cultural landscape of Birmingham. We personally love the Birmingham bull and we were so excited to participate in this initiative which aligns perfectly with our organisation’s mission to promote creativity, community engagement and economic growth in Birmingham.
We know that art has the power to transform spaces, inspire individuals and strengthen communities. Through our sponsorship, we hope to contribute to the cultural vibrancy of Birmingham and support the incredible artists who bring these sculptures to life.”
Rebecca Richards, Bulls in the City Project Lead, said: “We’re thrilled to have Colmore BID join our herd.
“Due to the cost of care increasing rapidly, it’s more important than ever we raise vital funds and awareness for Birmingham Hospice,” she said.
“Bulls in the City will be fantastic for our charity, but it’s also a great opportunity for local businesses to get involved in what is set to be the biggest and best art trail our city has ever seen!”
Whether you’re a local resident, a visitor or a business owner, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
