The city centre will be home to 15 giant emperor penguin sculptures from November 25 – and children and adults will be able to follow the trail around Doncaster.

The Penguin Parade will run into January and is coming to Doncaster courtesy of Wild In Art who have staged a number of other similar colourful animal trails across the country.

“The fifteen sculptures will feature stunning artwork from some of Wild in Art’s veteran artists such as Reilly Creative, Loïs Cordelia and Caroline Daly and were first featured on 2022’s Penguin Parade in Birmingham.”

The sculptures are inspired by the tallest and heaviest of any living penguin only found in Antarctica.
