The Bristol 'Gromits Unleashed' trail saw 80 sculptures designed by artists and celebrities raise £2.3million at auction for Bristol Children's Hospital.

The success of the project meant the Gromits went international and featured in 'The Greatest Dog Show On Earth' exhibition in Hong Kong in July 2014.

Wallace & Gromit creator Nick Park designed 'Sweet Dreams' Gromit for the event, and Wallace & Gromit's creative director, Merlin Crossingham and fellow Aardman designers Gavin Strange and Ashley Boddy also decorated sculptures.

The Gromits will be available to visit for 10 weeks from February 1st.
