Starting from Town Hall Square, City Centre

What3Words location: ///tags.usual.spine

Allow around 90 minutes for walk and talk, steady pace

A repeat of the walk first offered in August 2024

Join us to explore selected murals and other art on the streets across city centre. This walk celebrates street art from Bring the Paint festivals of previous years, as well as some new additions. We finish at the free Open Streets event where there will be family friendly activities, street artists and more! It is led and presented by one of our Walk Volunteers who will provide light information along the way. Information about the pace of our walks, what to wear/bring, the weather and much more can be found on our City Council Group Walks page.

Please note: We are generalists rather than street artists, so our talk does not include technical/specialist information. You can find and discover more about Leicester's many murals and street artists on the Bring the Paint and Graffwerk websites.

Dress for the weather

Remember to dress appropriately for the weather. Our group walks will go ahead in most weather. We recommend the following:

Comfortable sturdy footwear

Bring a raincoat or umbrella in case of rain

On cooler days wear appropriate layers and a coat/jacket

On hot days wear sun protection (hat, sun screen)

Please bring a bottle of water with you, especially in warm weather.

It's wise to have an In Case of Emergency (ICE) contact on your mobile phone, or written on a card. We can provide a spare ICE card, should you need one (ask our volunteers at the walk).

Group size

We kindly ask walkers to book places, to help us keep our group sizes manageable.
