Unicorn Fest pleads with public after more statues damaged in trail's first week

Several more statues have been damaged on Bristol's Unicorn Festival trail raising money for charity. Organisers of the event have pleaded with the public not to touch, climb or stand on any of the 60 large unicorn statues located across the city.

The Unicorn Fest trail officially started last week as part of the 650th-anniversary celebrations for Bristol. The unicorns - and additional foal statues - are located around the city's landmarks, but several statues have been damaged in the first week.

Last week, organised were "dismayed" after a statue had been damaged before the trail had even begun. More recently, a statue on Gloucester Road had its horn snapped off over the weekend and a unicorn in Castle Park was also damaged. A horn was also missing from a unicorn by the glassboat, which has since been replaced.
