CELEBRATING OUR ARTISTS
Last year, we asked artists across the UK to submit their designs to be in with a chance of decorating our herd of large oxen. We had a huge amount of submissions (190 to be exact!), and then had the challenging job of narrowing this down to a shortlist of 70. Our trail sponsors selected the final 31 designs, which will be on display from 6th July – 29th August 2024.
17 artists are based in or have close connections to Oxfordshire, and many of the designs have been inspired by the local wildlife, scenery, and culture our county has to offer.
For artists, OxTrail offers an exciting opportunity to have their work displayed to a new audience in a bold, fun, and memorable way. Our artists have spent hours upon hours working on their sculptures, and we are delighted to have such a diverse and beautiful range of artwork to display.

Auction
After the trail ends, most of the life-sized oxen (and a selection of mini oxen) will be sold at a hoof-biting live auction to raise crucial funds for Sobell House Hospice.
The lucky new owners will then take their moo-gnificent ox to its forever home.
