Do we need any previous art experience to join the retreat?

Absolutely! Most of our retreat participants in Newcastle have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who break down complex techniques into simple, fun steps. We start with basic lines and fades before moving on to letters and characters. You'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create by the end of the session with just a little guidance and some Geordie spirit!

What should we wear and is it safe?

Safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your clothes clean. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and old clothes just in case. The paint we use is professional-grade but we ensure the environment is well-ventilated and all safety protocols are followed. You just need to bring your creativity; we handle the messy bits!

How long does the Newcastle retreat workshop last?

Our creative retreats typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, concept sketching, and the final painting of your large-scale mural or individual canvases. If you have a specific schedule to stick to for your Newcastle getaway, let us know and we can tailor the duration to fit your itinerary perfectly.

Where in Newcastle does the workshop take place?

We are very flexible! We can host the workshop at one of our partner creative spaces in Newcastle, or if you have a specific venue, garden, or warehouse booked for your retreat, we can often come to you. We just need a well-ventilated area and permission to paint. We'll handle the set-up and the clean-up, leaving nothing behind but great memories (and maybe some awesome art).

What happens if it rains on the day of our workshop?

Newcastle weather can be unpredictable, but the fun doesn't stop! We have access to several indoor and sheltered locations across the city. If your retreat is planned for outdoors and the British weather takes a turn, we usually have a backup indoor plan ready or can transition to individual canvas sessions that are easier to manage in smaller covered spaces. Your creative flow won't be rained out!

Do we need to pay in advance?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'No-Cure, No-Pay' philosophy. You don't need to pay anything upfront when booking. We believe in the quality of our Newcastle workshops so much that you only pay after the event is finished and you're happy with the experience. This takes the stress out of planning your retreat and ensures total peace of mind for your group.

How much does a retreat workshop cost per person?

For our Newcastle retreat workshops, the price generally ranges from £25 to £55 per person. The final cost depends on the number of participants, the location, and whether you want specific extras like custom-designed canvases to take home. Because every retreat is unique, we recommend hitting the 'Request a Quote' button so we can give you a transparent, all-in price for your specific group.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your next Newcastle retreat? It's more than just painting on a wall; it's a sensory experience that breaks down barriers and sparks genuine innovation. Here is why groups love it:

Stress buster: There is something incredibly therapeutic about the hiss of a spray can and the freedom of large-scale painting. 🧘‍♂️
Zero ego: Whether you're the CEO or an intern, everyone starts with a blank canvas and a mask—it's the ultimate equaliser. 💪
Insta-worthy results: Create massive, vibrant backdrops that look amazing in photos and provide lasting memories of your time in the North East.
Professional artists: Our Geordie-based artists are the real deal—skilled, encouraging, and full of local stories. 🎤
Tailored to you: We can theme the workshop around your retreat’s goals, whether that’s "Innovation," "Connection," or just "Having a Blast."

Step by step

Warm welcome: Meet your professional artist guides at our Newcastle street art hub for a quick intro and some inspiration.
The basics: Learn how to handle the can, control the pressure, and swap nozzles like a pro.
Sketching session: Grab the markers and paper to plan out your group's "tag" or a mural concept that reflects your retreat's theme.
First lines: Step up to the wall or canvas. Our artists will show you how to scale your sketch onto the big surface.

The outline: This is where the magic happens. We'll show you how to add the crisp outlines that make graffiti look sharp.
Highlights and details: Add those "shiny" highlights and 3D effects to give your artwork depth and personality.
Photo finish: Strike a pose in front of your completed Newcastle masterpiece! These photos are the perfect souvenir of your creative escape.

Local culture

Newcastle isn't just known for the Tyne Bridge and a world-class nightlife—it's a city with a gritty, beautiful soul and a growing street art scene. From the Ouseburn’s trendy murals to the hidden gems in the city centre, the "Toon" provides the perfect backdrop for a creative retreat. Our workshops tap into this local energy, using the city's industrial heritage and modern flair as inspiration for your designs.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Newcastle's Ouseburn Valley is often called the "cradle of the industrial revolution" but is now the city's creative heart, filled with artists' studios and some of the best street art walls in the UK? It's the perfect place to grab a pint and admire the local talent after your session! 🍺✨
