Street Art Trails

Take a wander through Leicester’s streets today and you’ll find yourself surrounded by a different kind of history, one painted onto brick, steel, and concrete.

Since 2017, the city has been transformed by the bold vision of the Bring The Paint festivals, alongside a wealth of private commissions, creating a vibrant open-air gallery of more than a hundred murals. From hidden corners to landmark buildings, you’ll encounter work by both homegrown talent and world-renowned artists, including the record-breaking tallest mural in Europe.

Each piece tells its own story, adding colour, character, and creativity to the cityscape. This trail breaks the collection into smaller, easy-to-explore sections, helping you navigate Leicester’s evolving canvas at your own pace.
