Pride of Yorkshire announces new artists

What do we want? More artists! When do we want them? Right now! Meet the new artists joining the Pride of Yorkshire sculpture trail.

Weโ€™re o excited to announce the latest artists bringing their talents to Pride of Yorkshire.

This latest wave of artists joins our previously announced group of 64 to bring their diverse range of talents and skills to the trailโ€ฆ and we canโ€™t wait to see the results!

These artists are working on a range of themes, including football clubs, iconic places, famous faces and tributes to South Yorkshire heritage that are not to be missed when the trail launches this summer.

With less than six months to go until Pride of Yorkshire roars to life in the parks, streets and public spaces of South Yorkshire, there are still plenty of ways you can get involved and support this brilliant campaign. We have fewer than 10 schools and community group places remaining, opportunities for businesses to sign up as sponsors, and are on the lookout for volunteers to join in the journey.

Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity has set an ambitious ยฃ2.8 million fundraising target for the Pride of Yorkshire campaign, with funds raised earmarked to support cutting-edge research, vital new equipment and creative therapeutic projects for young patients.

Key Dates:

June-September 2026: Pride of Yorkshire takes to the streets, parks and public spaces of South Yorkshire.

October 2026: Farewell Event at Meadowhall.

October 2026: Auction.


Pride of Yorkshire will run from June 2026 – September 2026 across South Yorkshire. Watch this space for more information, how to get involved and support and for artists announcements on our website.
