Overview
Meet Cellie-bration, the inaugural elephant for Stomp Round Leicester, bursting onto the scene in an explosion of colour. The sculpture features multicoloured confetti raining down over a vibrant depiction of the Leicester City skyline. Commemorating the 40th anniversary of LOROS Hospice, 40 elephants stomp their way around the sculpture linked by a continuous white line to symbolise community and connection. Each one is uniquely embellished with patterns as a reference to Leicester’s rich cultural tapestry. This kaleidoscopic creation is making a mammoth impression on the trail!
