Bradley Stoke Gromit sculpture draws crowds to Woodlands Lane

A giant sculpture of the animated film character Gromit (of Wallace & Gromit fame) is drawing the crowds to the grounds of a Bradley Stoke accountancy firm’s office in Woodlands Lane.

Dunkley’s Chartered Accountants and Auditors, based at Woodlands Grange, have sponsored one of 80 Gromit sculptures placed at sites around Bristol as part of a ten-week-long charity fundraising event.

Led by Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal and Aardman Animations, Gromit Unleashed is a public art exhibition in which giant sculptures of Gromit, decorated by invited artists, have been unleashed on the streets of Bristol and the surrounding area.

At the end of the art trail, the sculptures will be auctioned to raise funds for Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children’s Hospital charity.
