A trail full of adventure
Whether you’re out for a family day, a weekend wander, or a quick city escape, there’s something to discover around every corner. Follow the trail using the dedicated map or app, track down each sculpture, and uncover fun facts, rewards and hidden gems along the way. It’s the perfect excuse to hop, skip and jump through the city. Families who find the Elavon sculpture will be in with a chance to win a day out at the Whitehouse Farm Centre.
“It's really important to us at Elavon to be involved and supportive of the communities where live and work. We came to Newcastle in 2020 and that's why we got behind the Shaun on the Tyne art trail so we're thrilled to be able to support the hospice again this year."
Hemlata Narasimhan, President of Elavon Europe
Supporting ‘Moments’ that matter
At Elavon, we believe in showing up for the moments that matter — not just for businesses, but for the communities around them. From busy cafés and restaurants to families exploring the city together, we’re proud to play a part in something that brings people together, sparks joy, and creates lasting memories.
More than just a trail
Behind every hop, there’s a bigger purpose. Tales on the Tyne supports the incredible work of St Oswald’s Hospice, helping raise vital funds and awareness for families across the North East.
At the end of the trail, the sculptures will be auctioned — turning creativity into meaningful impact for those who need it most.
Bright, bold and playful
The Elavon sponsored Peter Rabbit sculpture was inspired by an ancient local tradition. Read more about the design and the artist behind the artwork.
