Following the success of the GoGoGorillas! campaign in Norwich during the summer
of 2013, charity Break and public art events specialists Wild in Art will be unleashing
a trail of model dragons across the city in the summer of 2015.

The organisations will be inviting artists to submit designs and businesses to sponsor
them, to produce a public attraction based on a mythical creature that is part of
the history of Norwich.

Michael Rooney, Fundraising Manager at [Break](http://www.break-charity.org), said:
