Poems on the Buses 2026

We are very pleased to announce the return of our collaboration with Brighton & Hove Buses.

The poems on display were chosen from the 600+ entries to the 2025 BHAC Poetry Competition, and include many of the competition winners and poems highly commended by the competition judge, Jeremy Page. Poems were selected for display by Jeremy with competition organiser Kevin Rance, and our friends at Brighton & Hove Buses.

Look out for poems on buses throughout Brighton & Hove until the end of February.

Where can I find the poems?

The poems are displayed as A4 posters, downstairs inside the buses, behind the stair well, usually facing the back of the bus.

We do not know which individual vehicles have the poems, but our team of sleuths are working on it, and you can help us by sending us details of any poems you spot! Tell us using the form below.
