Be Wild – Richmond Town Centre
August 28 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm BST
Be Richmond is excited to welcome the acclaimed Gillie and Marc ‘Chimps are Family’ art installation to Richmond town centre! This captivating display features striking bronze chimpanzee statues, crafted with Gillie and Marc’s renowned artistry, and will be on show in Richmond for the next 12 months. Over the summer, there will be a chimp footprint trail, discovering each statue and learning fascinating facts about chimpanzees and their habitats. This trail offers a fun and educational experience for all ages, highlighting the importance of wildlife conservation. Along the trail, you may encounter some small, cuddly Chimp friends in need of a new home! There are 290 chimps around Richmond for you to discover and take home. These represent the 290,000 chimps left in the wild. For every chimp found and posted on social media with #BeWildinRichmond, Be Richmond will donate £1 to WWF.
