Pride of Yorkshire

Mon. 1 June 2026 — Wed. 30 September 2026

Free

Pride of Yorkshire has set 150 life-sized lions loose across South Yorkshire this June to September.

To celebrate 150 years of Sheffield Children’s, Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity is embarking on its biggest ever fundraising campaign with this sculpture trail across Sheffield, Doncaster, Rotherham and Barnsley.

It features 150 lions and lionesses created by artists from South Yorkshire and beyond, plus 150 adorable cubs created by schools and community groups.

Every penny raised during Pride of Yorkshire will help to create a calm, child-friendly space designed for children and young people in need of urgent care at the Emergency Department at Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

See the map of lions and start exploring.
