A Campaign of Colour: Graffiti Wall Guided Walk & Workshop
Sunday 24 May 2026
10am – 3pm
Join Scotty Brave for a creative riverside journey from Purfleet to West Thurrock, discovering Thurrock’s hidden graffiti gallery – a two-mile stretch of vibrant murals shaped over a 20-year seawall campaign.
Learn how public art can transform overlooked spaces into places of belonging, and that ‘home’ is a place built and maintained over time through collective effort. At the seawall, participants will add their own artistic mark, becoming part of the wall’s evolving story.
A welcoming, social day of colour, conversation and collective expression in one of Thurrock’s most unexpected landscapes.
Suitable for: All ages.

Scott aka Scotty Brave is Basildon born artist, tied to Thurrock through his early studies. Since, Scott has been a consistently active contributor to the scene for 20+ years as one of the pioneers of spray-can-art workshops in the UK.
His impact is even wider spread by his background as a detached youth-worker with schools & youth-clubs, secure-units & PRUs; pioneering spray-can-art within education.
Scott has developed his creative practice with grants and residencies and furthered his field, delivering workshops for renown spaces like the Tate London and V&A museum.
Whilst working commercially, Scott still manages to paint hundreds of personal pieces hidden from the public & only seen by other graffiti artists, urban explorers or trespassers!
Many of his most notable pieces were created & destroyed within a week. Follow along to catch a glimpse.

The walk isn’t accessible for wheelchairs or large pushchairs due to the mixture of made and unmade paths, steps, uneven surfaces and slopes.
T100 walks are of different lengths and on varying terrain. Some are mainly on footpaths, and others mainly on footpaths where ground may be uneven.
