The first elephant which will form a public art trail across the city was launched in the Winter Gardens last night. ‘The Herd of Sheffield 2016’ will include over forty individually designed elephant sculptures. The elephants will be in the city between July and September next year, then they’ll be auctioned to the public. The money will go towards The Children’s Hospital charity. Local illustrator, Geo Law has created the first one.
