The Snoopy trail has ended but here’s how you can see them all in one place

The Dogs Trust's A Dog's Trail may have packed away the Snoopy sculptures from their locations across Cardiff, Caerphilly and Porthcawl, but there's still one way of being able to see the 40 doggies - and they'll all be together too.

All 40 of the large painted Snoopy sculptures from A Dog’s Trail with Snoopy will go on show together – for the first and only time – at Cardiff City Hall Lawn as part of the Farewell Weekend from June 17 to 19. It will be the last chance to see all the large Snoopy sculptures together before heading off to their forever homes at auction to raise money for Dogs Trust, while the mini Snoopy sculptures will be returned to the schools and groups which decorated them.

The trail faced some ups and downs at first, with a handful of the sculptures vandalised and a few had to be moved from their original spots. But the trail still managed to bring a smile to the faces of those who followed it.

Anna Davies, Corporate Development Manager at Dogs Trust, said: “A Dog’s Trail with Snoopy has been a wonderful way to get people out and about this spring and has brought so much joy to trail-goers big and small. “Whether you’ve been a trail regular and want to bid your favourite farewell, or are yet to meet our pack, the Farewell Weekend is a perfect way to help send-off the Snoopy sculptures in style, and raise money for a good cause, helping dogs across Wales."

Tickets are now available for the Farewell Weekend, with visitors able to book 45-minute slots to see the sculptures. Tickets are £5 for adults, £4 for concessions and £3 for children aged three to 15, while under threes go free. Family tickets for two adults and two children are available for £12.50. To book visit: www.adogstrail.org.uk.

Proceeds from the Farewell Weekend will raise funds for Dogs Trust, which has rehoming centres in Cardiff and Bridgend, to help the charity continue to care for thousands of dogs every year whilst they wait to find new loving families and homes. Then the sculptures will be auctioned at a special event at the Coal Exchange on Tuesday, June 21 to support the work of Dogs Trust.
