Held on 17 September at Milsoms, Kesgrave, the Hop to it! Suffolk 2025 Auction brought together over 200 trail fans and keen bidders to celebrate the art trail, as the hare sculptures went under the hammer and found their forever homes.
The trail was hosted in Ipswich as well as, for the first time, in neighbouring satellite locations including Woodbridge, Felixstowe, Beccles and Lowestoft.
Through hosting Hop to it! Suffolk 2025, St Elizabeth Hospice aimed to give local communities a bright, vibrant and family friendly event to look forward to and enjoy.
A Guide to our different hare sculptures:
1 – The main sculpture in Ipswich. All of these sculptures have been painted by commissioned artists and will be located in Ipswich.
2 – The main sculpture in all of our satellite locations. All of these sculptures have also been painted by commissioned artists.
3 – Most of the smaller sculptures featured art by schools and groups. A small selection of leverets were also designed and painted by commissioned artists.

St Elizabeth Hospice improves life for people in East Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney living with a progressive or life-limiting illness. Our work is centred on an individual’s needs, which means specialist support, whenever and wherever it is needed, whether at home, in the community or at the hospice. Through medicine and therapy we ease pain; we give life purpose and make life liveable.
Each year it costs around £12 million to deliver all St Elizabeth Hospice care services and run the organisation, including support in Great Yarmouth and Waveney.
70% of hospice costs are raised each year through St Elizabeth Hospice’s retail shops, fundraising teams, donations, gifts and wills while 30% comes from services commissioned by the NHS.
