A grand charity auction will take place at the Riviera International Conference Centre. For sale? 39 life-size painted rhino figures.

The original, one-off artworks will be raising money to help Critically Endangered wild rhinos in South East Asia.

In 2013, the Paignton Zoo Great Gorillas Project charity auction raised £100,000 when 27 large gorillas and two of their smaller cousins went under the hammer. Charities that benefited included a conservation project working the Critically Endangered Cross River gorilla in Nigeria.

The target for The Great Big Rhino auction night is £130,000.

The Trail was a dazzling free public art exhibition of 40 life-size painted rhinos. They were scattered around the streets, parks and open spaces of Exeter and the English Riviera. 

Time 6:30pm

Cost £15
