It's the countdown to the start of Hoodwinked - the unique sculpture trail coming to the streets of Nottingham this summer! Look out for the Robins in the city centre from Saturday 7 July.
 Robin trail ready for take-off
The Robins are ready and the Hoodwinked trail
is set to fly! On Saturday 7 July,
Nottingham will launch its summer game of hide and seek as 33 giant Robin
sculptures take pride of place in the city centre.
The Hoodwinked sculpture trail is a
mischievous twist on the tale of Robin Hood, Nottingham’s infamous outlaw and
master of disguise. For 12 weeks, there will be a flock of quirky and colourful Robins hiding from the
outlaw’s arch-enemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham, in the city’s streets and
shopping centres. Each sculpture is
sponsored by a business and has been painted individually by an artist. You'll be able to pick up a map soon from the Tourist Information Centre and other city centre outlets. You will also be able to download the Hoodwinked 2018 app, giving access to special offers as you 'unlock' the sculptures.
Hoodwinked is led by Nottingham City Council
in partnership with Wild in Art, a leading creative producer of spectacular
free public art events through the creation of uniquely-painted
sculptures. It gives local people a new
way to explore the city, will attract tourists, and will also raise money for
the Hoodwinked charity partner, Nottinghamshire Hospice, with fundraising
activities and an auction of the sculptures in October.
