The Pride of Northampton

The Pride of Northampton will be a ten-week public art exhibition organised by Northampton Borough Council working with specialist art events and education company Wild In Art.

The 'parade' will involve dozens of 5ft high lion sculptures finding homes around the town next summer. 

Each lion sculpture will be sponsored by a business, individual or community group and local artists are going to be decorating the lions and bring them to life. At the end of the summer the sculptures will be auctioned to raise money for charity.
