A new summer sculpture trail has launched in Chichester city centre with a code breaking twist. The Chichester950 Code Breaker Trail invites families, locals and visitors to become history detectives, uncovering historic facts while exploring eight striking sculptures across the city.
Created to celebrate Chichester Cathedral’s 950th anniversary, the trail has been designed and built by students from Chichester College, who are also marking their 60th anniversary this year. Each sculpture is inspired by the symbols featured in the Chichester950 anniversary branding.
How to take part:
Download the map below and follow the trail to discover a letter at each of the eight locations. Once all eight letters have been found, you can use the trail’s code breaker to reveal a mystery word.
Then just snap a picture of the entry page of your trail with the mystery word and email it to [email protected] by 31 August 2025. The lucky winner will be chosen at random and notified via email. Good luck!
The trail is free to explore and runs until Monday 1 September 2025.
