The big picture: Two large hare sculptures will be installed at Ipswich and Lowestoft train stations, with ten smaller 'leveret' sculptures placed across stations in Ipswich, Felixstowe, Woodbridge, Beccles and Lowestoft.
The trail was created in partnership with Wild in Art, which has helped raise over £26.5m for charitable causes through similar events.
Why it matters: This marks Greater Anglia's third time supporting the hospice's art trails, following Pigs Gone Wild, Elmer's Big Parade Suffolk and the Big Hoot Ipswich 2022.
The initiative helps fund St Elizabeth Hospice's vital work supporting over 4,000 people with life-limiting illnesses in Ipswich, East Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney.
The hospice needs to raise around £12m annually, with 70% coming from community support.
The learning programme: Through Greater Anglia's sponsorship, the trail's Hopscotch learning programme will offer ten free spots for local schools and community groups to decorate their own stargazer sculptures.
What they're saying: "We're delighted to be supporting the Hop to it! Suffolk 2025 art trail in support of St Elizabeth Hospice," said Jonathan Denby, Head of Corporate Affairs for Greater Anglia.
"With 2025's theme being hares, which has obvious connections with the Greater Anglia 'hare', familiar in our advertising, marketing and promotional activities, and the expansion of the trail to locations along the East Suffolk Lines, there's a real synergy to our partnership."
The bottom line: For the first time, the art trail will expand beyond Ipswich to include satellite locations across Suffolk, making it more accessible to communities across the region while supporting vital hospice services.
