For storytellers

Why Greeting to the Sun matters

Next to the sea organ you walk onto a wide circle of glass panels set in the ground. By day it soaks up sunlight and after dark it puts on a colourful light show that follows the rhythm of the sea. Children love running across it. Combine it with the organ for a complete sunset stop.

Talking points

  • It stores solar energy to power its evening light display.
  • It sits right next to the sea organ.
  • It is most striking after sunset.
