OxTrail continues!
The trail may be over, but don’t miss two very ox-citing upcoming events.
Join us at the Westgate Shopping Centre in Oxford on 7th-8th September to say goodbye to the herd! This is your one and only chance to see the 31 large oxen on display together, and a small selection of mini oxen will be there too! This event is free to attend.
On 13 September, over 40 little and large sculptures will go under the hammer at our grand auction. Place your bids online or in-person to buy your favourite sculpture.

CAN YOU HELP?
OxTrail is raising vital funds for Sobell House Hospice.
It is estimated that the number of people needing vital end of life care in England will rise by 55% by 2030 and, as a result, the demand for hospice care is expected to grow at a similar rate. Assuming that NHS funding will not increase in line with the demand, in order to be able to provide a service to all that need it within Oxfordshire, we are likely to need to double our annual fundraising by 2030.
Please make a donation today.

Please take a moment today to read Richard’s Sobell story, kindly shared with us by his wife, Shona. ❤️
‘We enjoyed many holidays abroad and in later years bought a touring caravan that we used two or three times a month. It was on the last day of one of our caravan visits, 28 August 2023, that Richard woke up feeling unwell with a sore throat. It took several trips to different doctors before he was sent for investigation and a diagnosis of lung cancer was confirmed in October.
My father had died from lung cancer the previous year, so this was a devastating blow for our family.
We remained hopeful that Richard would respond well to treatment given he was just 56 years old…’
