An "unforgettable" elephant sculpture trail which aims to slot xo show off the "unexpected treasure" of an "up and coming" town has opened.
The Big Trunk Trail is taking place in Luton from 10 July to 8 October to raise funds for Keech Hospice Care.
It features 31 large artworks, and 42 baby ones, with two in tribute to Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain, who was born there.
Ms Hussain said she was "proud" the charity was putting on the free event.
"Sometimes it's tough to find things to do with children over the summer holidays that don't cost the earth and I'm sure loads of parents will be delighted to take their kids, for free, to visit all the gorgeous elephants and lovely locations on The Big Trunk Trail," she said.
The locations of the sculptures include Wardown Park, Stockwood Park, the Town Hall, the railway station, the football club and Park Street.
A trail map and all other details are available at the Big Trunk Trail website.
One of the herd, called "Inspiring Hope", has been decorated in tribute to the late Captain Sir Tom Moore, the fundraiser from Bedfordshire who raised millions for the NHS walking laps of his garden during lockdown.
Hannah Ingram-Moore said: "My father's mission was to inspire hope where it is needed most and it would have been his wish that when people visit "Inspiring Hope", their memories of him will inspire hope for future generations."
