The Story Trail
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.
