About the auction
The Elmer’s Big Parade Blackpool auction will see all 30 of our big sculptures auctioned off to raise funds for Brian House – the only children’s hospice on the Fylde coast.
The event will be hosted by Wild in Art and led by celebrity auctioneer Natasha Raskin Sharp, from the popular BBC shows Bargain Hunt, Flog It! and Antiques Road Trip.
On the evening you’ll have the chance to bid on one or more of our unique Elmer sculptures, including our small Jazzy sculpture. As well as our in-person event, there live online auction running alongside, giving those who can’t be there in the bidding room itself the chance to be involved.
This a hugely exciting event for anyone who is interested in homing one of our unique Elmer sculptures.

Brian House is the only children’s hospice on the Fylde coast.
We provide specialist care and support to children with complex, life-limiting conditions. Our aim is to make the most of every single day and provide experiences that our children and their families can cherish forever.
Over the last few years we’ve developed our services so that we can reach even more families on the Fylde. We offer organised sessions such as baby weigh in clinics, day visits, overnight stays and community outreach.
Some of our favourite activities include arts and crafts, baking and taking day trips out to the zoo and our local waterpark, The Sandcastle. We have also recently started taking trips to the Lake District and enjoying boat rides. We can’t wait for the summer too, as this means days out at the beach and ice cream!
Brian House care is free to access by everyone who needs it, however we only receive a very small percentage of funding from the Government to run our services. Because of this, we rely heavily on donations and fundraising. Our hope is that Elmer’s Big Parade Blackpool will help us raise not only awareness of our hospice, but vital funds too.
