Murals in Morecambe

Morecambe BID is delighted to reveal the creative force behind the stunning murals recently appearing around the town.

These vibrant works of art are part of an exciting new campaign to celebrate local talent and bring unique, eye-catching street art to our community.

Led by local artist Matty Green, with support from his peers, the campaign is set to expand into a full-fledged art trail that will brighten Morecambe's streets, support creativity, and attract visitors.

Through these murals, Morecambe BID aims to showcase the incredible artistic talent within our town and beyond, bringing together the community to make art an integral part of everyday life.

But this is just the beginning! Morecambe BID plans to involve further artists and local groups over the course of the campaign, opening up the opportunity for more creative voices to leave their mark on the town.

And here’s where you come in! Morecambe BID is actively seeking residents and local businesses willing to offer exterior spaces on their buildings or properties for the next wave of murals.

If you’ve got a space and want to help build Morecambe’s artistic identity, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can extend the art trail and make Morecambe a beacon for creativity and imagination.

David Waddington, chair of Morecambe BID, said: “Art has the power to transform both places and people.

“We’re beyond excited to kick off this campaign with the support of fantastic local talent like Matty Green. But making this trail something truly special will require the collective effort of our community. That’s what this project is really all about—bringing Morecambe together through art.”

This initiative represents an important step forward in fostering a sense of pride, community, and cultural appreciation in Morecambe. The murals promise to add colour, character, and vibrancy to the town, boosting its appeal to both residents and visitors.

Get involved

If you’re a property owner or business interested in donating a space for a mural, or if you’re an artist or group wanting to get involved, Morecambe BID would love to hear from you! To learn more, please contact Morecambe BID via our email address at [email protected]

Together, we can build something truly extraordinary
