Mural Trail

The murals don't come down when the festival ends. Take a stroll, cycle or drive round Swindon town centre to see three years of street art, all in walking distance of each other.

How it works

One town, three festivals of murals

Murals from 2022, 2023 and 2024 are spread across the town centre — concentrated around Theatre Square, Regent Circus, Old Town and Artsite itself, with pieces on hoardings, shopfronts and gable ends in between. Every wall is publicly viewable, free, and worth the detour.

For turn-by-turn navigation and pins for every mural, the trail is also mapped on Street Art Cities — the independent, crowdsourced street art map used by cities worldwide.

Trail areas

Where to look

Murals cluster in a few key spots — enough for a loop of an hour or two on foot.

Area

Theatre Square

The festival's home base — the highest concentration of murals and the centre of live painting each year.

Area

Regent Circus & Rudi's Bar

Large-scale walls and hoarding collaborations, including work from the Read and Weep Crew.

Area

Old Town

Home to two of Swindon's original 1980s murals — Ken White's Golden Lion Bridge and Sarah Faulkner's Arkells Brewery piece.
