King Bladud's Pigs Farewell

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 has 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 are to be sold via a grand auction. On October 18-19th you can see all 100 King Bladud's Pigs together in one place – prior to being auctioned

Entrance to this event is £2.00 for Adults including souvenir programme. 50p for Children and Under 5's free.

Net revenues after costs from the event will be donated to the charity Sustrans for use specifically to help deliver the Two Tunnels Project www.twotunnels.org.uk

Bladud's Pigs Farewell will now take place in Victoria Park, opposite the Royal Crescent Hotel
