The locations for the upcoming Gromit Unleashed sculpture trail have been released.

Aardman characters Wallace, Gromit and Feathers McGraw, along with new character Norbot the smart gnome, will be on display across Bristol from 30 June.

The Gromit Unleashed 3 trail will raise money for The Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children's Hospital Charity.

The 53 locations include Aerospace Bristol, WWT Slimbridge and Clifton Suspension Bridge.

The original 80 Gromit sculptures attracted 1.2 million visitors in the summer of 2013 and raised £2.3m at auction.

Since then, Gromit Unleashed has generated more than £20m for The Grand Appeal.

Nicola Masters, co-founder and director of The Grand Appeal, previously said "Aardman and Bristol go together like cheese and crackers".
