Will the festival-goers get paint on their clothes?

Absolutely! We provide high-quality coveralls, gloves, and masks to keep everyone’s festival gear looking fresh. While our professional-grade spray paint is designed to stay on the wall, we take every precaution to ensure it doesn't stay on you. We recommend participants wear comfortable shoes they don't mind getting a little dusty, just in case!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for a busy festival environment?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective equipment, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks and nitrile gloves. Our Geordie artist mentors are fully trained in health and safety protocols and will provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone picks up a can. We ensure the workspace is well-ventilated and secure.

How many people can participate at once?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you want a constant 'drop-in' style station where hundreds of people add a single stroke, or scheduled 45-minute masterclasses for smaller groups, we can scale our Newcastle team to match your festival's footprint. We have enough backup artists to ensure that no matter how big the crowd gets, the creativity keeps flowing.

What happens if it rains during the event?

The Geordie weather can be unpredictable, but we’re prepared! We can set up under gazebos, inside marquees, or use specialized weather-resistant boards. If the wind picks up or the rain starts pouring on the Tyne, our artists will adapt the setup to keep the workshop running smoothly and safely so the music—and the art—never stops.

Can we keep the artwork created at the festival?

Usually, the festival keeps the final masterpiece as a unique piece of event memorabilia! Many organisers display the finished boards in VIP areas or auction them for charity. However, if individual participants create smaller canvases, they are more than welcome to take their artwork home as a one-of-a-kind souvenir of their time in Newcastle.

Do we need to pay in advance to book?

We don't believe in hidden fees or stress. You don't have to pay a penny upfront to secure your date. We believe in the quality of our Newcastle street art experiences so much that we offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy. This gives you total peace of mind while planning your busy festival schedule.

Do participants need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned scribblers. Our friendly artists guide participants through the basics of can control, nozzle types, and layering. It’s all about having a blast and expressing yourself, not about being a gallery-ready professional on day one. Everyone leaves feeling like a pro!

Local culture

Newcastle upon Tyne has a gritty, soulful relationship with street art that mirrors its industrial heritage. From the colourful hidden gems in Ouseburn to the massive murals overlooking the Quayside, the "Toon" is a canvas waiting to be painted. Our local Newcastle artists know the city's pulse and bring that authentic North East spirit to every festival. We don't just teach art; we share the culture that makes Newcastle one of the UK’s most creative hubs.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Ouseburn Valley in Newcastle is often referred to as the city's "hidden cradle of culture," where some of the most impressive legal graffiti walls in the North East are tucked away? It's the perfect inspiration for our festival workshops! ✨

Pricing

Our workshop prices in Newcastle are as dynamic as the art itself. Generally, you can expect a cost of £25 to £55 per person, depending on the scale of the festival, the number of artists required, and the duration of the event.

Because every festival is unique—whether it's a boutique weekend in Jesmond or a massive bash at Exhibition Park—we provide bespoke quotes to ensure you get the best value and the most impact.
