In the summer of 2023, an extraordinary, free public art trail and tourist attraction is coming to London providing a stunning must-see attraction for all to enjoy – and you’re invited!

Morph’s Epic Art Adventure in London is the UK’s first step-free art trail of its kind, hosted by Whizz-Kidz, the UK’s leading charity for young wheelchair users.

From 19 June to 20 August 2023, central London will be transformed when it hosts 56 super-sized sculptures of much-loved children’s TV character, Morph. Located alongside some of London’s most iconic landmarks, each Morph sculpture will be uniquely designed by epic, well-known and emerging artists, providing a fun family-friendly art trail for locals and visitors to follow. A series of smaller ‘Mini Morph’ sculptures adopted and created by schools will also be displayed as part of the adventure.  

A Trail Map and App will navigate the public through London’s famous streets including the South Bank of the River Thames and the historic City of London, helping them discover each sculpture and unlock a series of rewards and fun facts.

Whilst exciting and inspiring people of all ages to celebrate London through creativity, the trail will also increase public awareness about the need for young wheelchair users to be mobile, enabled and included in society.

When the Trail ends, the super-sized Morph sculptures will be auctioned to raise funds for Whizz-Kidz.

Southwark Cathedral’s Morph which will be situated just outside our north courtyard opposite the River Thames was painted by artist Pili Duncan and incorporates a Forget-Me-Not motif, inspired by William Morris’s wallpaper and textile design. Morris’s sister, Isabella Gilmore, was the first head deaconess of the Diocese of Rochester and Southwark and is commemorated in the Cathedral.
