Multi-Stories Returns to Westquay – May 2025
📍 Westquay Multi-Storey Car Park – Levels 1, 4A, 5B & 6A
📅 Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 May 2025
🕛 12pm – 6pm | Free entry
Southampton’s largest street art event is back! Multi-Stories 2025 will once again transform Westquay’s multi-storey car park into a bold and vibrant urban art gallery on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th May.
This year’s theme, ‘Connections’, celebrates the power of art to bring people and communities together. Inspired by the idea that “we have more in common than sets us apart”, the festival links murals from previous years on Levels 1–3 and 7–9 with striking new works on Levels 4–6.
Expect breathtaking new murals, live painting by top street artists, and a packed programme of creative activities — including interactive workshops, street performances, DJs, skateboarding, dance, and the return of the South Coast Makers Market.
By the end of 2025, Westquay’s multi-storey car park will showcase one of the UK’s largest public collections of graffiti and street art, with over 60 works by leading national artists and local Southampton talent spread across all nine levels.
2025 promises to be the biggest year yet, with new collaborations, a mural competition, and even more opportunities for the community to get involved.
