Colourful giraffe sculptures arrive in Cambridge

Thirty giraffe sculptures and sixty baby versions have been installed in Cambridge.

They are part of an art trail from local charity Break, who were also behind the "Cows About Cambridge" cow sculptures in 2021.

Cambridge will be playing host to the gentle giants from the African plains from Thursday 21 March 2024.

Over thirty giraffe sculptures have arrived in the city, alongside 60 mini versions, each decorated by local schools and community groups.

Organiser Pete Marron told Star where people can spot them:

Break is a charity that works in Cambridge and Cambridgeshire to raise aspirations of the county’s young care leavers.

Staff are hoping the trail will bring communities together and encourage them to "look up at the spectacular art on offer".

They say the giraffe is a representation of the charity, standing tall for young people with care experience.

Ellie Edge, from Break, told Star they hope people enjoy the trail:

An auction of the artwork will take place in June to raise funds for Break.
