Morph trail in North Tyneside proves a hit as thousands head out to spot famous sculptures

A new art trail is proving a hit with thousands of families visiting North Tyneside to see the famous figures.

Around 30,000 people are thought to have explored North Tyneside’s town centres over the last few weeks after the launch of Morph’s Epic Art Adventure - providing a boost to the economy.

The trail features 20 life-sized, individually designed, sculptures inspired by the iconic clay character who made his TV debut in 1977 on the BBC children’s art programme Take Hart, alongside artist and presenter Tony Hart.
