Why Trails Work
A trail gives people a reason to explore, linking shops, landmarks and public spaces in a single journey. For councils, business districts and cultural organisations, it can bring footfall to places visitors might otherwise skip.
Building Blocks
A trail can mix traditional artworks with technology, and it works best when each stop has its own character. We combine these elements across our public installation work.
- Physical artworks — sculptures or murals that anchor each stop
- Phone layers — scan to see animation or hear stories through WebAR
- Sensor-triggered pieces — lights or sound that respond to passers-by
- Map and route — printed and digital guides to follow
- Collectable rewards — a completion prize or digital badge

Plan for the Outdoors
Trail pieces face weather, vandalism and busy pavements. Choose robust materials, agree maintenance and check permissions with the landowner and the local authority.
Keep It Running
Trails often run for weeks or months. Appoint someone to check each stop regularly, and plan content that can be refreshed. Agencies working with local authorities can explore options with us through our partnership programme.
