Snailspace

This Autumn the city welcomes Snailspace – a free public art trail of 50 individually designed Giant Snails plus 50 junior snails too! 15 September - 18 November 2018

In 2016 everyone fell in love with the Snowdogs by the Sea trail so we are thrilled that the Martlets and Wild in Art are working together again to bring another fabulous trail to Brighton & Hove. There are 50 Giant Snails spread out across Brighton & Hove and this year we are thrilled to have our own VisitBrighton snail designed by the very talented Lauren Nickless.  ‘A Spin Around Brighton’ will start the event welcoming travellers at Victoria Station and then he’ll join us in Bartholomew Square (London Victoria Station: 15 September - 18 October. Bartholomew Square: 19 October - 18 November)

Snailspace Map

Physical copies of the map are available at our 15 Visitor Information Points and Martlet shops.

The majority of the snails are within walking distance of each other but with 50 of the lovable sculptures to visit why not make a break of it and spend a few days finding them all? Follow our blog for suggested Snail Trail routes including things to do & see in each area.

#BeMoreSnail

Snailspace are encouraging everyone to #BeMoreSnail – slow down, focus and enjoy being in the moment. Take a leisurely stroll around the city as you enjoy seeing the wonderful sculptures. Friday 19^th October is #BeMoreSnail Day so look for special events happening that day.

We love the #BeMoreSnail idea so why not treat mind, body and soul to a Health & Wellbeing break in Brighton?

Martlets

In addition to being a fun and enjoyable art trail Snailspace is raising vital finds for the Martlets. Martlets is a charity that cares for people living through a terminal illness providing life changing hospice care.

On Monday 3rd December all the Snails will be put up for auction with the proceeds going to the Martlets. There will also be fund-raising events throughout the trail and visitors can donate by texting Slow18£3 to 70070.
