THIS weekend beautiful and colourful murals have appeared across the city as part of Worcester Paint Festival.

Thousands of people walked around the city enjoying the paintings over the weekend.

But there was one question that kept cropping up - How long would they be staying for?

Luckily, people will have at least 12 months to see the colourful street art on buildings across the city.

Worcester Paint Festival offered up some bright sparks to previously drab walls bringing known UK street artists to the city for the first time.

They included Inkie, Curtis Hylton, Phill Blake, Sophie Mess, Paul Monsters, Peachzz, and a stack of local talent in Worcester's emerging artists.

The eye-catching pieces include a mural of Drag Race UK star Ginny Lemon which has been painted onto the side of a house by artist David Puck in Chestnut Walk, The Arboretum.

WPF director Kate Cox said: “A huge thank you to everyone who supported the festival, funders, sponsors, the amazing artists and supporters.

"As well as all the volunteers and visitors.

"WPF was overwhelmed by the response from the city and are so pleased.

"WPF will return next year. Please do shout with a nice blank wall you would like transforming!”
