A mob of 64 beautifully painted wallabies will ’go wild’ across the Island this summer. Can you find them all?

For over 12 months, behind closed doors, an island-wide invasion has been planned by Hospice Isle of Man and Wild in Art.

One by one, businesses, artists, schools and community groups were let in on the secret and now it’s your turn.

From tomorrow (Friday) to Sunday, September 1, your challenge is to find our 26 large wallaby sculptures located in outdoor locations around the island, each sponsored by a local business and beautifully designed by local or international artists.

Also, there will be our 38 small ’wallababy’ sculptures located in public buildings across the island, each designed and fund raised by our very talented local schools and community groups.

You can take part in what is set to be the most exciting event of the summer in the following ways.

You can grab a map, and visit the ’Wallabies Gone Wild Hub’ in Strand Street Douglas, or one of our other Hospice Shops, island-wide, to get your hands on our free map.

Or you can get the app.

For a more interactive experience you can download our ’Wallabies Gone Wild’ app for £1.99 from Google Play or the App Store.

Use the app map to track down all of the wallabies and wallababies.

Enter the 4 digit code at each location to unlock each design and release special offers, competitions and rewards from wallaby sponsors.

You can also use the app to upload your picture to social media.

Or you can also become a trail maker. Volunteering on the trail provides you with a chance to do something fun and fulfilling this summer.

We are looking for help in our shops, at our events, in operational support and out on the trail.

If you have some spare time on your hands then contact [email protected] to join our friendly team today.

Whether you have a small amount of time to spare, or you are able to support regularly during the 14 week trail, we would love to hear from you.
