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

Absolutely! Most of our guests have never held a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching you how to control the pressure, create clean lines, and build up layers of colour. We provide a safe, supportive environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the artistic process. You'll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the techniques and create something you're proud of! 🎨

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, spray paint is a fine mist that can sometimes find its way onto your sleeves or trainers. Think 'creative comfort'—Bristol’s weather can be unpredictable, so layers are always a smart move for our outdoor or semi-outdoor locations! 👟

How long does the workshop last?

Our standard tourist workshops usually last between 1.5 to 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of techniques, plenty of practice on the walls, and the creation of your final masterpiece. It’s the perfect length to fit into a busy day of sightseeing around Bristol without feeling rushed or overwhelmed by the fumes. ⏱️

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide FFP2 or FFP3 grade respiratory masks to ensure you aren't inhaling paint fumes, along with protective gloves and suits. Our artists are highly experienced in managing groups and will guide you on how to use the equipment safely. We also choose our painting locations carefully to ensure good ventilation and plenty of space for everyone to work comfortably. 🛡️

What happens if it rains on the day of my booking?

Bristol's weather can be a bit damp, but it won't stop the fun! We have access to several sheltered and indoor locations across the city. If the weather looks truly dire, we’ll coordinate with you to move the session to one of our backup covered spots. The paint itself dries quickly, so a little drizzle won't ruin your artwork—it just adds to the authentic UK street art experience! 🌦️️

Can I book a private session for my family or group?

We love hosting groups of all sizes! Whether you are a couple looking for a unique date activity, a family on holiday, or a larger group of friends exploring Bristol, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional 'backup' artists to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and guidance. Just let us know your group size when booking! 🤝

Do I need to pay in advance for the workshop?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'No Stress' booking policy. You don't need to pay anything upfront when you reserve your spot. You simply pay after the workshop is completed and you're happy with the experience. This gives you total peace of mind and flexibility while you're planning your trip. We believe our quality speaks for itself! ✨

Local culture

Bristol isn't just a city with some graffiti; it's a living, breathing gallery. From the colourful terraces of Totterdown to the legendary walls of Stokes Croft and Nelson Street, the city is saturated with creative energy. Our workshops often take place near these iconic hubs, allowing you to breathe in the same air as some of the world's most famous street artists. We celebrate the city's heritage as the host of 'Upfest', Europe’s largest street art festival, by encouraging you to add your own flair to the local vibe.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Bristol’s 'See No Evil' project in 2011 turned Nelson Street into one of the tallest outdoor galleries in the world? Some of the murals here are over 10 storeys high! 🏢
