Take home your very own piece of the GoGoSafari trail at charity art auction!
After a wild
summer of roaming the streets of Norwich and Norfolk the GoGoSafari sculptures
will be getting ready to find their forever homes at a one-night-only charity
art auction. To be held at Saxon Air, Norwich on Thursday 2 October, and hosted
by ITV’s Becky Jago and Chris Page, alongside celebrity auctioneer Natasha
Raskin Sharp, from TV’s Bargain Hunt, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance for
fans, collectors and art lovers to own a unique piece of art from the popular
trail.
With over 50
lots, from lions, elephants, gorillas, giraffes and rhinos to the exquisitely
designed MINI Collection, and a couple of surprise Mini Gs, these sculptures
are show-stopping statement pieces that will look spectacular in homes,
gardens, offices, hotels and restaurants. Each one is a one-of-a-kind creation
by some of the UK’s most talented artists, and now they’re ready for new
adventures with all proceeds going to the charity behind the trail, Break,
supporting their work with young people in, around and leaving care across East
Anglia.
Auction
guests can expect an enjoyable evening surrounded by the 56 sculptures up for
grabs, with a sparkling reception, food served by local catering firm Norfolk’s
Edge and drinks throughout the evening. And for bidders unable to attend there
is the option to take part via the online auction portal or over the phone.
“It’s been
wonderful to see so many people enjoy the GoGoSafari trail this summer and we can’t
wait to see what’s next for our sculptures!” comments Ellie Edge, Break
Partnerships Manager. “So many people have fallen in love with them and have
their favourites. Our incredible artists have created some amazing designs
making something completely unique. This auction is the perfect opportunity to
be able to take home an original piece of art and a memento of another
fantastic trail all whilst supporting Break and the work we do with young
people in care.”
The evening
starts at 6pm with the auction commencing at 7pm with tickets at £35 per person.
available on the Break website break-charity.org/auction.
For fans and
trailgoers who want to see how much their favourite goes for, it will be
streamed live on our GoGoSafari Facebook page, along with updates posted
throughout the evening on the trail’s socials.
