King Bladud's Pigs Auction

Since the 17th April, Kind Bladud's Pigs have been located throughout Bath city centre. One hundred individually decorated life-size pig sculptures were displayed all around Bath - to celebrate the legend of King Bladud who together with his pigs discovered our hot springs and went on to found the city of Bath.

Each pig is sponsored. Each sponsor selected an artist to transform the blank "3D canvas" of a pig sculpture, made of reinforced fibreglass, into a work of art. On 31st October the pigs will be sold via a grand auction.
