THE Cirencester March Hare Festival auction, held in October, raised a staggering £114,870 for the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust.
Launched in March, the hare festival saw a drove of 50 five-foot hare models - and a group of smaller, lifesize hares - move into Cirencester and surrounding areas.
Each one was uniquely decorated and sponsored by a business, school, group or individual.
Now that the festival is over, and the hares have been auctioned off to different areas of the world, a list of each hare and how much it went for has been released.
The money will go towards a wildlife project for schools and communities, creating a pathway around the River Churn.
