A new art trail featuring 85 hare sculptures is set to take over Suffolk in one month.
St Elizabeth Hospice’s latest fundraising art trail, Hop to It! Suffolk 2025, will run from June 21 to August 29.
The event follows the success of previous art trails, including Pigs Gone Wild, Elmer’s Big Parade and the Big Hoot.
The trail will see 33 large hare sculptures, each with unique designs, placed around Ipswich.

Celia Joseph, community and partnerships fundraising manager at St Elizabeth Hospice, said: “Excitement is building at the hospice, as we cannot wait for Hop to It! Suffolk to hit the streets of Suffolk this summer.
“It is set to be a summer of colour and creativity as our hares hop to towns across Suffolk – as part of the region’s biggest, free art event.”
The event coincides with Suffolk Day on June 21 and is set to be the hospice’s biggest art trail yet.

The sculptures will be sold to raise funds for St Elizabeth Hospice.
The hospice will also host a fundraising cycle ride, Hop on It! Suffolk 2025, on June 29.
Riders will pass many of the art trail’s sculptures as they complete either a 50 or 70-mile route.
The independent Suffolk charity, based in Ipswich, provides support to more than 4,000 people across east and mid Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney who are living with progressive or life-limiting illnesses.
These services cost about £12million each year to deliver – with 70% of the funding raised through community support.
