Do you provide festival entertainment outside of Newcastle?
Absolutely! While we love bringing the Geordie spirit to life in Newcastle, we are fully mobile. We can travel to events in London, Birmingham, Manchester, or Leeds. Whether your festival is in a city park or a remote field, our artists bring all the necessary equipment, including gazebos and flooring protection, to ensure a professional setup anywhere in the UK.
Is the graffiti activity safe for festival-goers?
We take safety seriously. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and disposable overalls for all participants. Our artists conduct a safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We also use low-odor professionally graded spray paint. For indoor festivals, we can even provide 'sugar-based' paints or water-based markers to ensure there are no fumes, keeping the environment safe for everyone.
Is this activity suitable for children and families?
Yes! One of the best things about our festival workshops is that they are designed for all ages. From toddlers making their first mark with markers to teenagers and adults mastering spray can techniques, we adjust our coaching to the individual. It is a fantastic way to engage families and provide a creative outlet that keeps kids entertained for hours.
How long does a typical festival workshop session last?
We are flexible to your festival's schedule. We can run continuous 'drop-in' sessions where people join as they pass by, or we can schedule specific 1.5 to 3-hour masterclasses for fixed groups. Most festival organizers prefer the drop-in format as it maximizes the number of people who get to interact with the art throughout the day.
What happens if it rains during the event?
We’ve got you covered. For outdoor events, we can provide professional pop-up gazebos to keep the artists and participants dry. If the wind is too high for spray painting, we often pivot to customized 'graffiti markers' on canvas or boards. We always have a 'Plan B' ready to ensure the entertainment continues regardless of the legendary British weather.
Do we need to provide any materials?
Not a thing! We provide every piece of equipment needed, including the 'canvas' (which could be a temporary wall, boards, or even a vehicle), a massive range of professional spray cans in every color imaginable, and all safety gear. We even handle the setup and the cleanup, leaving you to focus on running the rest of your festival.
