Whether you need to unlock those last few rams on the app to complete the trail, see the stunning sight of the whole flock together, or you just want to say goodbye, here is your only chance to see all 30 Derby Ram Trail rams and all 80 of the school minis in one place, for the last time, before they ram-pede to be auctioned off to raise money for Derby Museums’ Endowment.
The rams will come to flock at Derby Museum & Art Gallery on The Wardwick, on Friday 3rd September until Sunday 5th September where you can book an hour slot, to see each and every ram, in the beautiful surroundings of the old library.
