THE FLEET STREET QUARTER PENGUIN PARADE SCULPTURE TRAIL

CREATED BY WILD IN ART AND IN SUPPORT OF WWF

Thursday 14 November 2024 – Sunday 5 January 2025

• Across Fleet Street Quarter

From Thursday 14th November, families and visitors are invited to embark on a fabulous festive adventure to discover 12 adorable penguin sculptures throughout the Quarter all in support of the WWF.

Each penguin, decked out in unique festive finery designed by talented artists, will be perched in iconic spots like Chancery Lane, New Street Square, Ludgate Circus and Fleet Street, adding a splash of Antarctic charm to the City.

By scanning the QR codes on each sculpture, visitors can support WWF’s vital conservation efforts. Donations will help protect these remarkable creatures and their habitats, ensuring they survive for future generations. 

The trail, produced by global public art specialists Wild in Art, will run for eight weeks with each penguin sculpture standing at an impressive 1.6 meters tall and is mounted on eco-friendly plinths made from recycled materials. Accompanying plaques will provide insights into the artists’ inspirations.
