Brighton Marina: Mindful Monster Trail

About

Brighton Marina has announced that it is hosting a family-friendly trail throughout summer, with families invited to find Mindful Monsters hidden throughout the marina.

The free trail encourages guests to embrace mindfulness and kindness while exploring Brighton Marina this summer. Created by Sheffield-based author Kiersten Ward, whose Mindful Monsters stories help children understand and express emotions in a playful, accessible way, the trail features nine Mindful Monsters hidden in store windows for guests to find. Each monster has a unique theme, centred around a mindful action that can be done on site, including The Wellbeing Monster, The Creative Monster, and The Entertainer Monster.

What’s more, the letters KIND are installed on the Village Square, making the perfect selfie moment for those embracing kindness while completing the trail throughout summer.
To take part, guests can collect their trail map from the Information and Security Office, located opposite the West Quay pub entrance. Once they have found all nine hidden monsters, they can return the completed map to the office and collect a free Mindful Monsters storybook and a kindness champion badge*.

Kiersten proudly supports Sheffield Children’s Hospital and donates 10% of all book profits to their charity, with the message behind the stories now making a real-world impact close to home.
*Please note that the prizes are available on a ‘first-come first-serve’ basis.
