The Owls and the Pussycats

Knowsley’s Owl and Pussycat sculpture trail was the centre point of Knowsley’s Borough of Culture year in 2022. The 32 large-scale elaborately decorated sculptures popped up in a variety of locations including parks, public spaces and town centres with a further 47 smaller sculptures painted by local schools also displayed.

In the following years you can see the sculptures pop up in surprising locations, local businesses and public spaces across Knowsley.

The public art trail commemorates the fact that the world-famous poem – the Owl and the Pussycat – was written by Edward Lear during his time spent at Knowsley Hall.
