Entertainment Swindon

Founded in 2022 by Artsite Ltd, Swindon Paint Fest is back again with the support of Arts Council England and about to turn the town into a creativity hub of all kinds ranging from large scale murals, live painting, exhibitions, workshops, and music! Follow their Facebook page (Click HERE) to keep up with the live updates as they fill you in with all ART that’s going on 31st August to 1st September.

With over 60 talented artists, Swindon Paint Fest is ready to raise spirits by bringing colour and creativity to the town.

The main events will be centred around Artsite at Theatre Square and Rudi’s at Regent Circus. The mural trail and events programme will be revealed closer to the actual dates, it will take you to places at a variety of locations in and around the town centre and into Rodbourne and Old Town.

Back in the 1980s, Swindon became the unlikely murals capital of the U.K. and the town once boasted over 40 murals. Only legendary Ken White’s 1976 Golden Lion Bridge and Sarah Faulkner’s 1985 Arkells Brewery seem to be left. So it’s become one of key goals to put Swindon firmly back on the street art map once again!

Set that date to take a stroll, cycle or drive round to see the eye-catching and thought provoking artworks! Till then, check out the existing murals around Swindon,  https://streetartcities.com/cities/swindon

HERE’S TO THE BEST WEEKEND!
