Short Tails, Big Auction!

On 3 October 2024, from 7:00pm we will be auctioning the large hares and tortoises from The Short Tail Trail online.

This is a rare and unique opportunity to share in the legacy of the trail so please be as generous as you can when bidding. Proceeds from the auction will help towards the costs of £19,000 each day to run Keech Hospice Care, to help us continue making the difference when it matters the most to children and adults living with life-limiting conditions.

In 2021, The Big Trunk Trail raised an amazing £231,500 for Keech Hospice Care! This helped us to care for 1,847 adults and children and 742 relatives.

If you want to own one of the Short Tail Trail sculptures and share in the legacy, you can bid online, and place your bids ahead of the auction or on the night itself.
