In 2024, Weston-super-Mare was once again the home of street art as the team behind Upfest, Europe’s largest street art festival, headed to the coast.

A diverse selection of local, national and international artists created large scale artworks on Weston’s walls. One of a kind designs have been created by each artist bringing their own style and flare to a variety of buildings in the town.
