Is the spray paint safe to use around food stalls?

Absolutely! We use high-quality, low-odour water-based spray paints for our food festival setups whenever possible. This ensures that the mouth-watering aromas of the street food remain the star of the show while we provide the visual feast. We also use professional extraction fans if we are working in semi-enclosed marquees, ensuring a safe and pleasant environment for everyone.

Where at the festival do you usually set up?

We are totally flexible! We can set up free-standing 'graffiti walls' made of eco-friendly film or wooden panels anywhere in your festival layout. Whether it's right next to the main stage or tucked into a chilling-out zone near the picnic benches, we only need a flat surface and a bit of space for people to get creative. We take care of all the floor protection too!

How many people can participate in the workshop?

Our artists are pros at managing crowds. For food festivals, we usually run 'drop-in' sessions where people can contribute to a massive communal mural or create a small individual piece to take home. This keeps the flow moving so hundreds of festival-goers can participate throughout the day without long wait times. It’s high-energy, fast-paced, and incredibly inclusive for all ages.

Can you customise the graffiti art to match our food theme?

Yes, we love a theme! Whether your Manchester food fest is focused on vegan delights, spicy street food, or local craft brews, we can pre-sketch the mural with related imagery. This helps guide the participants and ensures the final masterpiece looks professional and fits your event's branding perfectly. It’s a great way to tie the art and food together.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor festival?

Don't worry about the British weather! If your festival is outdoors, we can set up under our own gazebos or within your event marquees. We come prepared with floor covers and protective gear to ensure the site stays clean and the fun continues, rain or shine. In Manchester, we know a bit of rain never stops a great party!

Is it safe for kids and families to join in?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including gloves and aprons, and our professional artists give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We use non-toxic paints and ensure the workspace is well-ventilated. Children are welcome to join in under the supervision of our friendly team of experts.

Local culture

Manchester’s identity is etched into its brickwork, from the iconic bees to the massive murals of Stevenson Square. We celebrate this rich heritage by bringing that same rebellious, creative spirit to your food event. Whether your festival is happening in the shadow of the Beetham Tower or the industrial cool of Ancoats, our workshops tap into the local "Manc" pride. 🐝 Fun Fact: Did you know Manchester was the birthplace of the first-ever free public library? We like to think of our graffiti walls as a modern, public canvas where everyone’s story is welcome!

Pricing

Our festival packages are as varied as the food on offer! Prices generally range from £25 to £55 per person, but for large-scale public festivals, we often work on a fixed daily rate to allow for unlimited participant turnover. Because every Manchester event is unique, we recommend using our Cost Calculator or getting in touch for a bespoke breakdown. 🍔
