The Phillipstown Murals Walk is part of the Phillipstown Walks project.

The Phillipstown Walks is a series of free, resident-led guided walks within Phillipstown that celebrate local history and the knowledge residents hold.

This walk will focus on discovering the pieces of street art that colour the walls of many building in our neighbourhood.

This walk is organised in collaboration with Watch this Space. Reuben Woods, Watch this Space creative director (whose PhD focused on graffiti and street art within post-earthquake Christchurch) will lead our tour around Phillipstown.

Come along to learn and share stories about the Phillipstown murals and street art and connect with your neighbours.

The walk is perfect for the young, the old, those who have lived in Phillipstown for years, and our newest neighbours as well.

At the end of the walk, we will stop at the Phillipstown Community hub for a coffee or a juice while chatting about the walk and the street art in Phillipstown

The walk is about 2 km at a slow pace. If that's a possible issue, we recommend use of mobility aids.

In case of very bad weather conditions, the walk will be postponed to the following day, Sunday 6 November, same time.

To register your attendance, please use the form at the link: bit.ly...
