1.5-2 hours walking tour of Nottingham City Centre
Meeting Point: 200 Degrees Coffee Shop by The Victoria Centre
Over the past few years, Art Fest has commissioned artists to paint walls across Nottingham, creating large-scale artworks in some of the city’s most familiar everyday spaces.
Join Art Fest founder Benjamin Kay for a walking tour of Nottingham City Centre exploring a selection of these murals and the stories behind them.
Hear how the artworks went from blank walls to finished murals, how artists were selected and commissioned, and what it actually takes to produce large-scale public art in a busy city.
Along the way, Benjamin will share some of the successes, challenges, hidden insights and unexpected stories behind Art Fest — and its ambition to help make Nottingham a city of artists.
This tour is part of a series in the Art Fest 2026 Festival.
Our Programme is sponsored by It’s In Nottingham
While there may be some overlap, all of the tours are delivered and developed by individual creatives who will be sharing their own perspectives, experiences and insights - feel free to sign up to all of them if you like!
Additional Info:
Tours will go ahead come rain or shine and we suggest comfortable shoes and clothing for all weathers!
All children under 16 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.
