Frequently asked questions
Can you set up the graffiti workshop at any festival location in Sheffield?
Absolutely! While we love bringing the energy to Sheffield's major green spaces, we are fully mobile. Whether your festival is in the city centre, a private estate in the Peak District, or a local community park, our team brings all the equipment, boards, and protective gear to you. We just need a flat surface and a bit of breathing room to get the creative juices flowing.
Is the graffiti activity safe for festival attendees?
Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and ponchos to keep everyone's clothes clean. Our professional artists are trained in site safety and ensuring the spray zone is managed correctly. We also use low-odour professional paints where possible to ensure the environment remains pleasant for all your festival-goers, regardless of their age or experience level.
What makes Graffitifun different from other festival entertainment?
We are one of the most flexible providers in the UK. Because we have a large collective of backup artists, we can guarantee your booking even if someone falls ill. Our 'pay after the workshop' policy means you aren't out of pocket before the event even starts. Plus, our artists aren't just painters; they are entertainers who know how to engage a festival crowd!
What is the minimum and maximum group size for a festival workshop?
Our festival workshops are incredibly versatile. We can host small, intimate groups of 5-10 people for deep-dive sessions, or manage 'drop-in' style stations where hundreds of people contribute to a massive mural over the course of a weekend. When you request a quote, just let us know your expected footfall so we can bring enough spray cans for everyone!
What happens if it rains during the Sheffield festival?
The Great British weather can be unpredictable! For outdoor festivals in Sheffield, we recommend having a gazebo or covered area as a backup. While we can paint in light drizzle, heavy rain isn't great for the paint or the participants. If you have a marquee or indoor space, we can easily adapt the setup to keep the festival vibes going regardless of the clouds.
Can festival-goers take their artwork home with them?
Of course! While our live murals are a huge hit, we also offer 'take-away' options where guests can spray their own individual canvases or tote bags. It’s a fantastic way for festival-goers to leave with a physical memory of the event. We can even pre-stencil your festival logo onto the items so every piece of art is branded to your specific Sheffield event.
