The hugely popular Unicorn Fest is underway with the trail already a planned weekend outing for many families. But the vandalism on a few of the statues in the first week of the trail has seen organisers rushing to repair the damage and pleading with the public not to destroy the unicorns.
Bristol artist, Bo Lanyon, who led the team who created the Golden Unicorn at this year’s Unicorn Fest, said he found it “quite shameful” for those who had damaged the unicorns. He said: “There’s such a huge amount of goodwill involved for everybody around the Unicorn Fest and it’s raising funds for Leukaemia Care.
"The golden unicorn is specifically raising money for children with leukaemia, so I find it quite shameful for the person who did this. Perhaps they don’t know why the unicorns are there ?” he said.
