12 May – 3pm til 6pm

Venue: Streets of Westwood between Deene Court and Westwood shops.
If it’s raining we will relocate to the alleyway with the mural at Hampton Court shops in the centre of Westwood.
What to expect
Expect chill vibes and a chance to express yourself using marker pens, spray paint, and other arty materials. There will be three activities taking place:
– Pebble painting
– Giant and mini paper aeroplane making & decorating
– Massive group painting & doodling
– Graffiti mini canvases
You can drop in for five minutes to do a quick doodle, or spend longer creating your own work of art to take home. No skill or experience required, anyone can add their mark whether you’re arty or not.
The event will be outdoors on the streets between Deene Court and Hampton Court shops. Aprons, masks and protective wear will be provided, but you may want to nip home and get changed out of your uniform first!

The tarpaulin for the massive painting will be on the ground, and will be lifted up should anyone require it.
There will be spray paint fumes and permanent markers as part of the activity.
Aprons, goggles, masks, gloves will be provided.
