The sculpture will be placed opposite the entrance to the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery. The sculpture’s location is within the North-West corner of the Pavilion Gardens and is a relatively flat surface with wide paths. Please note that although the gardens are wheelchair friendly, the surface of the pavement is made of small stones, so be aware that it may not be the smoothest surface at times.

By Bus – The nearest routes that stop by this sculpture will be the 1, 1X, 2, 5, 5A, 5B, 6, 7, 12, 12X, 13X, 14, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 27C, 37, 37B, 46, 47, 48, 49, 52, 60 and 77 at the ‘North Street and Old Steine’ stops.

By Train – If you’re arriving via train, the nearest station will be Brighton. There is a step-free accessible route via Queen’s Road, around a 12-minute journey across a 950-metre distance:

• Exit the station via the Queen’s Road exit.
• Travel down Queen’s Road (please note the slight hill downwards here) before turning right onto Church Street.
• Follow Church Street (another slight hill downwards) to turn right onto New Road.
• The gardens can be accessed via the path opposite Theatre Royal where the sculpture and museum will be on your right.

Entrances –

• The arched entrance to the gardens when entering from Church Street sometimes has a gate across it. However, when this gate is not in place, this is the most accessible entrance. At other times, use the entrance a few metres along to the left, where you can then turn right and follow the path towards Brighton Museum entrance to find the sculpture.
• Likewise, there is another entrance from Princes Place. Going towards Princes Place towards Regent House, you will find two paths leading into the gardens. Both rejoin into one flat surfaced path that cuts through the middle of the gardens directly towards the sculpture. Please note that this path is slightly narrow, so people coming the other way may struggle to get past if you are using a wheelchair.
• Two more entrances lead off from New Road, opposite Wahaca and the Theatre. By following these paths past the café and towards the Pavilion, you can turn left and follow the path towards the Museum to find the sculpture.

As the sculpture is in the Pavilion Gardens, expect some crowds when the weather is warm. Many of the crowds will be centred around the grassy parts of the garden in warmer weather, but please note there may be some heavy footfall around Brighton Museum. Be particularly aware of sudden sirens and traffic from the surrounding roads.
