The Story Trail

12th September 2026

The Story Trail

Amaze, your local charity supporting families with disabled children, has partnered with Wild in Art to bring you The Story Trail—a free, fun and family-friendly adventure.

Between 12 September and 8 November 2026, you can explore a city-wide gallery of more than 30 BookBenches. Each one is an open book, designed by a talented local artist and waiting to be discovered.

The story continues with a heartwarming collection of smaller BookBenches, lovingly decorated by local schools and community groups, adding their own chapters to our city’s tale.

Wander through our vibrant city, pause, and take a seat. Immerse yourself in a world of  stories our community has to tell. Our BookBenches are more than just beautiful art; they are a place for us all to belong.

#SitWithUs in Autumn 2026 for a journey of discovery and joy with The Story Trail.

Hailsham parent support group

Hailsham parent support group

Join us in person and meet other parent carers in your area for a cuppa, cake and chat. These groups are intended as a special space for parent carers only; the parent group and befriending service also offer WhatsApp and virtual groups for parents who can’t come to the in person groups, for example if you don’t have any childcare.

This group will sometimes have an emphasis on children or young people with a neurodevelopmental condition, such as ASC, ADHD or dyslexia.

Refreshments are provided and there is free parking in Orion Close.

To find out more, email [email protected] or call Zoe on 07485 345908.
