Sit With Us the Eye Sculpture Trail for Summer 2023
Sponsor Eye Town Council
The Blossom charity
Sit With Us
Now in its fifth year, the art sculpture trail in Eye, Suffolk, features 24 beautifully decorated benches, 5 Suffolk-shaped mini tables and 8 charming cushions. Visitors can walk with purpose to see them placed in locations on a route around this picturesque town. One of the benches can be seen at Frogs Farm and another is in Harleston so do take a trip there too.
Whether you like beach scenes, flowers and nature, fairy stories, bright colours, animals or music, there is something for everyone – our artists and makers have been wonderfully creative!
We are delighted to bring the ‘Sit with Us’ trail to Eye and hope you enjoy it. Please share your photos sitting on the benches on social media with #eyesculpturetrail. A massive thank you to everyone who made it happen!
