Do I need any previous art experience to join the festival workshop?

Absolutely! Our graffiti workshop experiences at Leeds festivals are designed for everyone, from complete beginners to closet Picassos. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of spray can control, lettering, and shading. You don't need any prior experience to create something you'll be proud of—just a willingness to have fun and get a bit messy!

What materials are included in the festival workshop package?

We provide everything you need to become a street art pro for the day. This includes high-quality spray paint in a rainbow of colours, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. Depending on the festival setup, we provide either large boards, canvas panels, or even a shared mural wall for everyone to contribute to.

How do you handle safety and protection during the event?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary safety gear, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks and nitrile gloves. Our artists are highly trained in site safety and will ensure the workshop area is well-ventilated and kept tidy. We also have full public liability insurance for total peace of mind.

How long does a typical street art festival session last?

Festivals are all about flexibility! We offer 'drop-in' style sessions where people can contribute to a massive mural throughout the day, or scheduled 60-90 minute workshops for those who want a deeper dive into the techniques. We can tailor the timing to suit the specific flow of your Leeds event, ensuring maximum engagement for your visitors.

What is your cancellation and booking policy?

We are one of the few providers that offers a 'no cancellation guarantee' because we have a large backup team of artists ready to step in if someone falls ill. While we appreciate a heads-up if your plans change, we focus on making the booking process as stress-free as possible. Plus, you don't even have to pay upfront!

Is the graffiti workshop suitable for children at a family festival?

Our workshops are generally suitable for anyone aged 6 and up. For younger children, we focus more on simple shapes and 'free-painting,' while older kids and adults can get stuck into more complex lettering and stencil work. It's truly a multi-generational activity that brings families together at Leeds community events.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Leeds event? It’s more than just painting; it’s an unforgettable experience that breaks the ice and gets everyone talking. Here’s why we’re the top choice for street art in the north:

🔥 Epic engagement: Nothing draws a crowd like the hiss of a spray can and the sight of a vibrant mural coming to life.
🎨 Zero experience needed: Our artists make it easy for anyone to create something stunning, regardless of their skill level.
💪 Professional tools: We use the same high-end paints and nozzles used by the world's best street artists.
🤝 Community vibes: Collective mural painting encourages teamwork and a shared sense of pride in the local area.
🏆 Stress-free booking: No upfront payment and a guaranteed backup artist mean you can plan your event with total confidence.
⚡ All-inclusive gear: From overalls to masks, we provide every bit of kit so you can just turn up and spray.

Step by step

Design blast-off: We kick things off with a quick brainstorming session to get your creative juices flowing and choose your 'tag' name.
Gear up: Slip into your protective overalls, mask, and gloves—safety first, but make it look cool!
Can control 101: Your pro artist will show you how to hold the can, swap nozzles, and control the pressure for different effects.
Outline your vision: Start by sketching your design onto the wall or canvas using light 'ghost' lines to get the proportions right.
Fill it in: This is the best part—choosing your vibrant Leeds-inspired colours and filling in your shapes with smooth, solid layers.
Sharpen those edges: Use 'cutting' techniques to tidy up your edges and make your design pop against the background.
Add the 'oomph': Learn how to add 3D shadows, highlights, and outlines to give your piece that professional street art depth.
The finishing touch: Add some 'splatter' effects or decorative elements to make your masterpiece truly unique.
Photo finish: Strike a pose with your finished creation for the ultimate festival memory to share on your socials!

Good to know

Duration: Flexible sessions ranging from 1 to 3 hours, or full-day 'drop-in' mural activations.
Group sizes: We can accommodate anything from small groups of 10 to massive festival crowds of 500+.
Included: Professional spray paint, nozzles (caps), masks, gloves, protective suits, and expert guidance.
Weather: We can set up outdoor marquees or move the action to an indoor venue if the Yorkshire weather doesn't play ball.
Safety: All sessions are supervised by experienced artists with full PPE provided for participants.

Local culture

Leeds has a long and proud history of street art, featuring incredible works like the 'Athena Rising' mural near the station—one of the tallest in the UK! Our workshops tap into this local heritage, bringing that same urban grit and artistic flair to your festival or event. We love hitting up spots across West Yorkshire, from the bustling city centre to the creative hubs in Headingley and Chapel Allerton. There's something about the Leeds "Loiner" spirit—bold, friendly, and unapologetically creative—that makes this the perfect backdrop for a graffiti revolution.

Pricing

Our Leeds street art experiences are competitively priced to ensure everyone can get involved in the fun. Prices typically range from £25 to £55 per person, depending on the length of the session, the number of participants, and the materials used.

Because every festival is unique—whether it's a small community fair or a massive city-wide event—we recommend getting in touch for a bespoke quote tailored to your specific needs. ✨
