Hop to it Suffolk 2025 Auction

Hop to it! Suffolk 2025 Auction

Join us for a truly unforgettable evening as our stunning collection of hare sculptures goes under the hammer.

As the Hop to It! Suffolk art trail draws to a close following 10 weeks brightening up the streets of Ipswich, Beccles, Felixstowe, Lowestoft and Beccles, our hare-tastic the sculptures will be going under the hammer to raise vital funds for St Elizabeth Hospice.

You will have the opportunity to own one of these magnificent hares and piece of art by bidding online or in person at the Hop to it! Auction conducted by Clarke and Simpson.

The auction will be taking place in the setting of Milsoms on Wednesday 17 September.

Last year St Elizabeth Hospice cared for over 4,000 local people and their families living in East and mid Suffolk and Great Yarmouth and Waveney.  Every pound raised at the auction will help our team of consultants, nurses, carers, therapists, counsellors and others to provide that care in the future, free, for local families.
