Do I need any previous art experience to participate? injection?

Not at all! Our London street art festival workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of spray can control, cap selection, and layering techniques. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at what you've managed to create on the wall. It’s all about having fun and expresssing yourself in a supportive, high-energy environment.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes a wide variety of high-quality spray paint colours, various nozzles (caps) for different effects, and all necessary protective gear like gloves, masks, and ponchos. We recommend wearing clothes and shoes you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on, just in case you get into the 'zone' a bit too much! We've got the rest covered.

Is the workshop safe, and do you provide protective gear?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade filtered masks and gloves for all participants. Our workshops usually take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art zones across London. Our lead artists provide a thorough safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring everyone knows how to use the equipment responsibly while having a blast. We make sure the environment is secure for all ages.

What happens if it rains on the day of the festival?

London weather can be unpredictable, but the fun doesn't stop! If the British clouds decide to open up, we often have access to sheltered outdoor spots or indoor 'pop-up' areas. If the weather is truly extreme, we can rearrange the timing or location to ensure you still get the best experience possible. We always have backup plans and extra artists ready to go, so your event is in safe hands.

What is the maximum group size for a festival workshop?

We are incredibly flexible with group sizes. Whether you are a small group of friends looking for a unique London afternoon or a massive corporate team of 200+ people looking for a festival-style brand activation, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists and set up multiple 'spraying stations' to ensure everyone gets plenty of time on the wall and personal guidance.

How long does a typical street art session last?

Our standard festival workshop sessions typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a demo, some practice sessions, and the creation of a final masterpiece. However, for large-scale festivals in London, we can offer 'drop-in' style sessions that run all day, allowing hundreds of people to contribute to a giant collaborative mural. We tailor the duration to fit your specific event schedule.

How do I book and do I need to pay upfront?

Booking is simple and stress-free with Graffitifun. You can request a free, no-obligation quote via our website. Once we've tailored a package to suit your needs and group size, we'll confirm the date. The best part? You don't need to pay anything upfront. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is complete and you're 100% satisfied with the experience.

Local culture

London is arguably the street art capital of the world. From the world-famous Leake Street Tunnel (the 'Banksy Tunnel') under Waterloo to the ever-changing walls of Brick Lane and Shoreditch, the city is a living, breathing canvas. Our workshops tap into this rich heritage, often taking place near these iconic hubs of creativity. We don't just teach you to spray; we connect you with the local culture that has made London a global destination for urban explorers. 🎨

Fun fact: London's Leake Street Tunnel was first made famous by Banksy during the 'Cans Festival' in 2008. Today, it remains one of the few places in the city where graffiti is completely legal, meaning the walls are constantly evolving with new masterpieces every single day! 🇬🇧

Pricing

Our workshop prices are designed to be accessible while providing a top-tier professional experience. Pricing typically ranges from £25 to £55 per person, depending on the number of participants, the length of the session, and the specific location requirements.

We believe in total transparency and zero stress, which is why we offer a 'pay after the workshop' guarantee. We want to make sure you're buzzing with excitement before any payment is handled. 💰
