Get ready to meet the lions of the Pride of Portsmouth!

All shortlisted designs for the Pride of Portsmouth public art trail will be on show at Aspex Portsmouth from Thursday 12 February to Sunday 22 February.

This free, family‑friendly exhibition gives you the chance to explore the wildly creative lion designs up close before the final selection is made. After the exhibition, a chosen group of artists will be commissioned to transform their ideas into 45 full‑size lion sculptures, ready to take over the city this summer!

Running throughout February half term, it’s a fun, accessible way for all ages to discover local talent, back your favourites, and get excited for the trail ahead.
