Bristol unicorn sculptures fetch £144k at auction

The unicorns were spread across Bristol as part of an art trial during the summer

Unicorn sculptures which featured in a charity art trail have raised £144,880 at auction.

In aid of Leukaemia Care, the auction at Propyard was hosted by the BBC's Antiques Roadshow and Bargain Hunt expert Richard Madley on Thursday.

The 60 unicorns, which were painted by local artists, were spread across Bristol earlier this year.

Green King, a unicorn designed by Zase, went for the most, fetching £10,000 alone.

"It's been amazing to see so many people experience the joy of the arts trail."
