Westquay – May 2025
Multi-Stories 2025 is a wrap — and what a weekend it was!
Southampton’s largest street art event returned in style this May, transforming Westquay’s multi-storey car park into a bold and vibrant urban art gallery on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 May.
This year’s theme, ‘Connections’, celebrated the power of art to bring people and communities together. Murals from previous years (Levels 1–3 and 7–9) were beautifully linked with striking new artworks on Levels 4–6, creating a seamless visual story across the car park.
Visitors enjoyed:
– Live mural painting from some of the UK’s leading street artists
– A packed programme of creative workshops, performances, DJs, dance, and skating
– The return of the South Coast Makers Market
Westquay’s multi-storey car park now hosts one of the UK’s largest public collections of graffiti and street art — over 60 works across all nine levels — featuring top national talent and local Southampton artists.
