Worcester Paint Festival (WPF) returns for one day of activity on Saturday 20 September. Expect to see a couple of new murals from International names in the Street Art scene, not just in the city centre, but reaching into our communities. We are super excited to welcome an amazing line up of both International and UK current smashers alongside long time masters of the craft, as well as emerging and local street artists and graffiti writers.

During 2025….
We did our first ‘Street Art Tour’ – taking a stroll around some of the murals creating and explaining a little more about them, and the event itself, by Director Kate Cox. This was great and we would love to do more in 2026. We can take private bookings, and hopefully will launch this out to the public as well.
Talking about Graffiti and Street Art history is also something we are big on, and would love to come and share this with you. There are opportunities to book for a school or community group tour, or talk, so please do get in touch if you are interested. We are also happy to come and deliver a workshop session.
We are always looking for sponsors for future projects so please do get in touch if you would like to help the community get some large, inspiring and joyful artwork, pay to cover the costs of a mural and support Worcester Paint Festival. Or if you want to discuss a commission, we have an extensive network of street, mural and graffiti artists who can deliver! Please get in touch if you want to book a tour, or talk about graffiti and street art culture, or the local scene
Worcester Paint Festival brings street, mural & graffiti artists to the city showcasing renowned names in the UK scene, supported by emerging artists to create a vibrant outdoor art gallery. WPF works with street artists for projects, collaborations and commissions. Please get in touch if you have a wall or project that needs brightening up!
PAINT THE STREETS – was a major exhibition of Graffiti and Street Art culture and history in 2023-24 at Worcester City Museum and Art Gallery. It featured super rare original, large scale (8ft tall x 20ft wide immaculate) boards from Bridlington 1987, featuring Goldie, Vulcan, Mode and TKid. These boards had not been seen for decades, being locked away in a council facility. This was coupled with original works from Inkie, Bansky, Shepard Fairey and UK street artists. We included archive material and photographs from Martin Jones, John Nation and Barton Hill Youth Club, and the scene here in Worcester with sketch books, photos, tools and more from our veteran Worcester writers. Paint the Streets ran for 5 months and had over 18,000 visitors! Thank you to everyone who came to this amazing exhibition!
