[5] A much expanded hospital was built nearby to the designs of Robert Carwen in the Tudor gothic revival style in 1885.

[10] One of the main aims of the design, in addition to providing the most up-to-date facilities possible, was to overcome many of the difficulties that face patients, families and staff.

Since then, the charity has funded a wide variety of programmes for patients valued at over £5M including arts, entertainment, education, play and music programmes; equipment; family accommodation facilities; comforts for patients; ward enhancement and new medical facilities in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

[20] Sculptures were decorated by a range of artists and celebrities, including Joanna Lumley, Sir Peter Blake, Cath Kidston and Jools Holland.

[21] At the end of the art trail, each sculpture was auctioned to raise funds for Bristol Children's Hospital.

[22] The Grand Appeal has pledged to raise £3.5M for equipment for Bristol Children's Hospital, including a state of the art CT Scanner, an intraoperative MRI scanner, family facilities and child-friendly artwork to help save the lives of sick children at the hospital.

[29] These commissions were funded by the hospital's own fundraising arm, The Wallace and Gromit Grand Appeal.
