A collection of uniquely decorated ox sculptures will be on display in Oxford in September when a city-wide art installation comes to an end.

The OxTrail Farewell Weekend, scheduled for September 7 and 8, will see all the large oxen gathered at the Westgate Centre.

Brendan Hattam, centre director at Westgate Oxford, said: "We’re incredibly excited to be playing our part in the OxTrail this summer, by hosting the hub shop and four oxen, all in an effort to support Sobell House Hospice.

"Their mission to raise vital funds for those experiencing palliative care, as well as their families, is something we’re honoured to help with.

"We encourage the public to follow the trail to see the array of vibrant hand-painted designs throughout the city.

"We're really looking forward to hosting the full herd in Leiden Square this September ahead of the grand auction."

OxTrail, which is raising money for Oxford-based hospice Sobell House, will come to an end on August 29, after which the sculptures will be auctioned off to raise more money.

The charity provides palliative care and support to around 3,000 adult patients a year as well as their families, friends and carers.

The event, which began on July 6, has seen sculptures painted by artists, community groups and organisations dotted around the city for the public to find.
