This summer's penguin trail in Worcester is offering one of the sculptures as a raffle prize.

Organisers of the Waddle of Worcester are giving away 'Hoiho', the penguin chick, in St Richard's Hospice's charity raffle, alongside a night in a hippo lodge and a VIP penguin experience at West Midlands Safari Park.

The raffle aims to raise funds for the hospice's care of patients with incurable illnesses and their loved ones across Worcestershire.

Laura Clarke, campaigns fundraiser for the hospice, said: "The county took our happy huddle into their hearts this summer so we're excited to give people the chance to take super cute penguin chick, Hoiho, home.

"Our friends at West Midlands Safari Park have also generously donated some absolutely brrr-illiant prizes, including an overnight lodge stay.

"It will be so exciting to contact the lucky winners when we draw the winning tickets on November 1."

The raffle closes on Friday, October 25.

Chris Kelly, managing director of the safari park, said: "As a very proud sponsor of one of the hospice's penguin sculptures this summer, we're delighted to have offered up two unique experiences here at the park as raffle prizes.

"Both our hippo lodge overnight stays and VIP penguin experience offer an up close and personal wildlife experience like no other.

"We look forward to welcoming the lucky winners."

All 82 painted penguins will go on show together - for the first and only time - at Worcestershire County Cricket Club on Friday 4 to Sunday, October 6, and again from Friday 11 to Sunday, October 13.

After this, 40 large penguins, and one special baby, will be auctioned to raise funds for the hospice, while the remaining penguin chicks will return to their forever homes with the schools and community groups which painted them.
