About

Get ready to dive into Brighton and Hove’s first storybook art trail which will arrive in the autumn 2026.

You’ll be able to discover local artist’s creations on over 30 BookBench sculptures across the city’s streets and parks on the trail organised in partnership with local charity *Amaze, which supports families with disabled children in Sussex.

The story continues with a heartwarming collection of smaller BookBenches, lovingly decorated by local schools and community groups, adding their own chapters to the art trail.

The trail is the perfect opportunity to wander through the vibrant area, take a seat and immerse yourself into a world of stories the local community has to tell.


*Amaze is a charity that supports parents and carers with children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in Brighton & Hove and East Sussex. We also support young people with SEND aged 14 to 25. We have a range of services including an advice line, resources, groups, and benefits support designed to help families with the emotional and practical demands of caring for a child or young person with additional needs.
