Oxford Bus Company supports OxTrail charity event

Oxford Bus Company is to support the OxTrail charity event.

In an effort to raise money for Sobell House Hospice Charity, OxTrail will see over 30 life-sized ox sculptures take over the streets of Oxford next year. Each oxen is to be uniquely decorated by a local or international artist before appearing in the vibrant and family-friendly trail. One of the bovine sculptures is to be sponsored by Go-Ahead-owned Oxford Bus Company. The design of its ox will be kept under wraps until the launch in July next year.
