Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum age for a graffiti birthday party?
While we don't have a strict age limit, our graffiti kids parties in Leeds are most successful for children aged 6 and up. At this age, they have the physical strength to press the spray caps and the focus to follow our artist's guidance. For younger siblings joining in, we often provide extra assistance to ensure they feel like part of the creative crew!
Is it safe for children to use spray paint?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks for every child to ensure they stay clean and safe. Our professional artists are experienced in working with children and supervise the use of spray cans at all times. We use low-odour, water-based paints where possible to ensure a comfortable environment for the little artists.
Can the party take place at my home or a specific venue?
We offer total flexibility! We can host the party at one of our partner creative spaces in Leeds or we can come to your garden or a local community centre. If we come to you, we take care of all the protection for floor and walls using professional-grade plastic sheeting. We just need a well-ventilated space or an outdoor area to get the party started.
How long does a typical graffiti party last?
A standard graffiti workshop for a kids' party lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance of learning the history of street art, practicing basic spray techniques, and completing their final masterpiece. It’s an action-packed session that keeps the energy high from start to finish without the kids losing focus.
Do the kids get to keep what they make?
The best part is that everyone gets to take their art home! Every child creates their own unique work on a high-quality canvas or a sturdy MDF board. These make the ultimate party bags—instead of plastic toys, they leave with a piece of art they’re proud of. It’s a fantastic souvenir from a day they won't forget.
Do the kids need any previous drawing or art skills?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our friendly Leeds-based artists guide the group through every step, from holding the can correctly to creating cool effects like drips and fades. Whether a child is naturally artistic or has never picked up a paintbrush, they will leave feeling like a total street art pro.
What happens if I need to cancel or change the date?
We understand that plans can change when you're a busy parent. That’s why we offer a 'no upfront payment' policy. You can book your date to secure our artists, and payment is only required after the workshop is complete. If you need to reschedule or cancel, just let us know as soon as possible so we can adjust our team's schedule.
