A unique and exciting adventure awaits families this spring with the launch of the Stampede By The Sea, a free and interactive way to explore the stunning landscapes of west Dorset while supporting the incredible work of Weldmar Hospicecare.

This engaging trail brings together creativity, community, and a celebration of the region, with eye-catching sculptures positioned across some of West Dorset’s most beautiful locations.  The trail promises to delight visitors of all ages while shining a spotlight on Weldmar Hospicecare’s vital role in providing compassionate end-of-life care to local people.

Explore the Trail

Stampede By The Sea features stunning sculptures inspired by local wildlife and crafted by talented artists, each sponsored by generous local businesses.  These sculptures are placed along a scenic route through west Dorset, taking in coastal vistas, historic towns, and family-friendly attractions.  It’s a fantastic way for families to get outdoors, connect with nature, and discover the best of what the area has to offer - especially over the upcoming Easter break.

Each elephant will have scannable QR codes with offers, activities and competitions for attendees to participate in - everything from guessing the number of plankton on an elephant to winning a family pass to Mapperton House!

While the trail is free to enjoy, visitors are encouraged to donate to Weldmar Hospicecare, whose work ensures that individuals and families across Dorset receive compassionate care and support during life’s most challenging times.  Every pound raised helps Weldmar continue to provide these essential services.
