The Trojan Horse (Animated Objects), Bridlington Spa
Oct 7, 2022 - Oct 9, 2022

The Trojan Wars raged on for over a decade…
Only the hero Odysseus had a plan to bring the conflict to an end.
He had visions of a giant horse – capable of carrying a deadly secret.

But the story has moved on with the passage of time.

How can the horse bring this version of the war to an end?

Visit the mighty beast as it takes shape on the Yorkshire Coast; a giant biodegradable sculpture like the world has never witnessed before.

Made by communities on the coast and brought together to tower above the heads of visitors at Bridlington Spa. The Trojan horse is perhaps the most famous element of Homer’s tales, and a challenge to inspire generations.

Will it be the largest structure of its kind ever built?

Judge for yourselves. See this icon of myth and legend with your own eyes.
