Set within the beautiful surroundings of Hilsea Lines and forming part of the wider Hilsea Lido redevelopment, the Phoenix Journey blends nature, art and storytelling into a meaningful route for families, schools and the wider community. The full trail, featuring a series of beautiful wooden installations representing powerful narratives of growth and perseverance, will open in late 2026.

The Phoenix installation is a striking symbol of strength and renewal, rising from the ashes to signify new beginnings, making it a particularly fitting emblem for a project that highlights the strength and potential of care-experienced young people.
Fair Ways is an award-winning children’s services charity based in the south of England, delivering fostering, education, residential and family services.
