At the end of the event the pigs were publicly auctioned and retired to more private locations. "King Bladud's Pigs in Bath is a summer 2008 public art event to celebrate Bath, its origins and its artists and provide residents and visitors with some artistic enjoyment. " Maps of the pig trail encourage visitors with opportunities to engage with the sculptures in different ways.
