About GoGoDiscover Sculpture Trails

GoGoDiscover Sculpture Trails are the result of a collaboration between Wild in Art and the charity Break. Break works to change the lives of young people across East Anglia by offering support for young people in care and moving on, children and young people with disabilities, families in need, and children at risk. 

The project aims to connect businesses, artists, and communities through the power of creativity. The art trails improve quality of life of the area and provide a platform for amateur and professional artists to showcase their work. It also encourages explorers of all ages to have fun experiencing art in a non-traditional setting and learn more about Norfolk, while also raising vital money for vulnerable children and young people across the region.

The Mammoth is a new figure for GoGoDiscover Sculpture trails in Norfolk. They celebrate the Deep History Coast and Norfolk being home to the discovery of the largest and oldest mammoth ever found in Britain. Previously, there have been t-rexes, gorillas, dragons, and hares.

*Kids will love this sculpture trail. If you need more ideas to entertain the kids, check out our recommendations for the best things to do in Norwich with kids and the best things to do in Norfolk with kids.

Tips for Seeing the 2022 GoGoDiscover Trails

Before you head out to see the sculpture trail, I have a few tips that might make things easier.

  1. Don’t try to see all the sculptures in one day. There are way too many.
  2. Plan on walking to see the T-Rexes in Norwich. Norwich is not a very car-friendly city and parking is not easy in some areas. Some of the sculptures are inside places so you won’t be able to just drive by.
  3. Don’t climb on the sculptures. Treat them with respect so they remain in good condition for everyone to see.
  4. You don’t have to see the sculptures in numerical order. Feel free to make your own route.
  5. Take lots of photos! If you want to share on social media the official hashtag is #GoGoDiscover.

The GoGoDiscover T-Rexes in Norwich

There are 55 T-rexes scattered around the Norwich city centre. While 21 are back from last year, they have moved to different spots. Here I will share a little more about each sculpture and how to find them.

I’ve never seen a server balance a three-tiered tray with afternoon treats on it’s head, but Afternoon Tea-Rex has it all under control.

This T-rex, who returns from 2021, has an outfit that matches the tea towel and a cherry on its back. On its thigh there is an interesting painting of a volcano with teapots pouring out their tea.
