The popular, supersized lion and cub sculptures, which delighted thousands of residents and visitors from around the world this summer,  will be heading off the charity gala auction at the Runnymede on Thames Hotel next Thursday 28th November.

The lions for sale includes 30 large decorated lions, 7 lion cubs and a blank lion, which will be decorated to a design of the winning buyer’s choice by award-winning Windsor artists Lisa Todd and Liv Clarke.

Estimates start at £300 for the cute little cubs (100cms long by 75cm tall) and £800 for the large lions (180cms long and 150cm tall), which have been decorated by the UK’s top designers and artists, from iconic fashion designer Dame Zandra Rhodes to former Christian Lacroix studio head Craig Wheatley and Lelia and Lyora Pissarro, descendents of the celebrated French impressionist Camille Pissarro.
