Gromit Unleashed 2 was a public arts trail in Bristol, England. The trail featured 67 giant sculptures designed by high-profile artists, designers, innovators and local talent. Sculptures are positioned in high footfall and iconic locations around Bristol and the surrounding area from July 2 to September 2, 2018.[1] A sequel to Gromit Unleashed in 2013, the trail featured statues of Wallace on a life-size bench, Gromit, and Feathers McGraw.[1]

The trail raised funds for the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children and St. Michael's Hospital's Special Care Baby unit.[2]
