Is it messy? Will I get paint on my festival outfit?
Absolutely! We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep your festival gear pristine. Our professional spray paints are chosen for their quality, but we always recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on, just in case. Safety is our priority, and our artists supervise the 'blast zone' at all times to ensure a clean and controlled environment for every participant.
What kind of space do you need at the festival grounds?
We are incredibly flexible. Our festival setups can range from a compact 3x3 metre 'tagging station' to massive 20-metre collaborative mural walls. Whether your event is at Victoria Park or a smaller boutique site in South London, we bring everything required—including the boards, paint, and protection—to create a self-contained creative hub that fits perfectly within your event's footprint.
Is the workshop safe for children and families?
Safety first, always! We use professional-grade low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control, especially for beginners. Every participant receives a safety briefing before they touch a can. We also provide FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure no one is inhaling fumes. Our artists are highly experienced in managing crowds and ensuring that the spray stays on the boards and away from the public.
What happens if it rains during the event?
London weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered! We can bring our own branded gazebos to keep the artists and the art dry. If the wind is too high or the rain is sideways, we can pivot to indoor-friendly activities like 'Graffiti on Canvas' or digital tagging if you have a sheltered area available. We never let a bit of drizzle dampen the creative spirit.
How long does a typical festival session last?
We work fast! Our artists can lead 'speed-tagging' sessions where someone can create a basic piece in 10-15 minutes, or we can host longer, more involved 45-minute workshops for those who want to learn advanced techniques. For large-scale festivals, the 'drop-in' format works best, allowing hundreds of people to contribute to a giant collective mural throughout the day at their own pace.
Why should we book Graffitifun over an individual artist?
Unlike many vendors, we offer a 'pay after the workshop' system for many of our bookings to ensure you are 100% satisfied with the vibe we bring. We also have a large roster of backup artists across the UK, meaning if one artist is unwell, another will step in. We have never cancelled a festival appearance due to staffing—your event’s entertainment is guaranteed with Graffitifun.
Can we customise the graffiti to match our festival theme?
Of course! We love a good theme. Whether your festival is focused on sustainability, electronic music, or local London history, we can sketch out 'master outlines' that reflect your branding. Our artists can incorporate your logos, specific colour palettes, or event hashtags into the mural, making it a powerful organic marketing tool when people share their photos on social media.
