Sculptures

Mermaid tails have been specially chosen as the sculpture for the trail as they represent the Mermaid Suite at the Julia’s House Dorset hospice in Corfe Mullen, where families can spend time when their child is at the end of their life.  And once the trail is finished, the sculptures will be auctioned to raise vital funds to support the life changing care provided by Julia’s House across Dorset.

Tail Trail

More than 40 giant mermaid tail sculptures will be making a splash in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) in Spring 2025, with the launch of The Great Tail Trail, an exciting community art adventure in aid of Julia’s House children’s hospice and delivered in partnership with Wild in Art.
