We’re delighted to be part of The Pride of Yorkshire, a spectacular sculpture trail celebrating 150 years of Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
Running from 8 June to 8 September 2026, the trail will see 150 lion and lioness sculptures, alongside 150 lion cubs, displayed across Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster. Created by artists, schools, community groups and businesses, each sculpture is uniquely designed and helps raise vital funds for Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity.
At The Circle Gallery, we’re especially proud to be hosting five of these magnificent lion cubs. Each one has been created by a local organisation that plays an important role in our community:
- Greenhill Community Library
- Artworks South Yorkshire
- Nether Green Infant School
- St Thomas of Canterbury School
- VAS
Having these sculptures in the Gallery gives visitors a wonderful opportunity to see the creativity, imagination and community spirit behind the trail up close. We’ve loved seeing how differently each group has interpreted their lion, and we’re excited to share their work with everyone who visits.
The Pride of Yorkshire is set to be one of South Yorkshire’s biggest cultural events this year, and we encourage everyone to get out, explore the trail and support the incredible work of Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
