Elmer's Art Parade

Can you find all 12 Elmer sculptures around Milton Keynes City Centre?

Meet Elmer, the patchwork Elephant who celebrates kindness, colour and being yourself. This summer, he’s bringing a burst of creativity to Milton Keynes with 12 uniquely designed Elmer sculptures, each created by talented artists and reflective of the city’s vibrant spirit.

Funded by city centre businesses via MyMiltonKeynes BID, the trail invites you to explore the city, discover each beautifully decorated Elmer, and enjoy a free, family‑friendly adventure filled with art, imagination and joyful surprises.

Whether you find one Elmer or all twelve, we hope the trail brings a smile to your day and inspires you to celebrate your own true colours.

We’ve teamed up with Gulliver’s Land to add an extra treat for anyone who completes the trail – more information coming soon!
