Port Stories
Port Stories is an exhibition and interactive trail in and around Shoreham Port. Local residents have been working with artists to collect stories from people who have lived and worked around the Port. We’ve explored the Port through photography, sound recording and video to create this work which is full of personal stories and responses to this amazing place on our doorstep.
