Can you spot 50 wild Yorkshire animals in York?
York BID have launched a brand new fun-filled trail for families in time for summer. Tommy Treebark’s Wild Adventure launched last Friday (25 April) and will run until Sunday 14 September.
The free trail will turn the BID’s summer seating benches into a city centre adventure – with 50 of the 56 benches brought to life with a cheerful artwork featuring York’s wild animals.
And there’s prizes to be won!
For a chance to win, simply pick up a trail leaflet from the Visit York Information Centre and help Tommy Treebark to track down each wild creature. Return your completed sheet to the Visit York Information Centre to claim your free prize – choose between a cuddly toy, an exclusive Tommy Treebark badge, or a minibeast magnifier!
Carl Alsop, operations manager at York BID, said: “This trail is a celebration of York’s creativity, outdoor spaces, and family-friendly atmosphere. It’s designed to be easy, fun and completely free – making it a great way to get kids exploring the city with fresh eyes.”
Emily J Starling, also known as Selkie Ray, the artist behind the trail’s animal designs, added: “Each animal has its own personality and is inspired by Yorkshire’s amazing wildlife. I loved creating artwork that brings a little wonder to everyday spaces and hopefully makes families smile as they spot them.”
The free trail is ideal for children aged three to 12. The aim of the trail is to encourage families to enjoy York’s summer seating and explore new areas of the city.
