Walking With The Snowman in London
Christmas 2023 saw a new sculpture trail added to the City of London featuring the much loved “Snowman” by Raymond Briggs.
Each of the figures on the temporary trail (21-Nov-2023 until 05-Jan-2024) was painted by a different artist on the them of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”.
The trail was located in the Fleet Street Quarter and managed by Wild In Art.

A partridge in a pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas

Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree.

Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree.
