Stockport Frog Trail

19 giant frogs were initially installed around Stockport and were around for three months from the 29th June 2019.

"The project is a collaboration between Stockport's Business Improvement District – Totally Stockport, local artists, Stockport based businesses and community groups, supported by Stockport Council.

Organised by Totally Stockport, Stockport's Giant Leap celebrates the £1bn programme of investment and development that is regenerating the town, a giant leap forward for Stockport, creating exciting opportunities for business and a destination of choice for residents and visitors.

After the trail closed, 18 of the frogs were auctioned off raising £32,000 for Stepping Hill's Tree House children's ward.
