What a weekend! Swindon Paint Fest 2025 was bigger, brighter, and more inspiring than ever – and we were proud to be the official Artist Hub in Swindon for the second year running.

​

We’d like to say a huge thank you to the incredible artists, musicians and creators who made this year so special. Swindon Paint Fest is an amazing celebration of local talent, giving the community the chance to see the passion and creativity of Swindon’s artists come to life right in front of their eyes.

​

Highlights at Rudi’s included live DJ sets from Matt Baila and other brilliant DJs who kept the party alive, plus stunning Rudi’s-themed body art from Ellie Baskerville, Sue Bardwell, and Pansy Cheung Burlesque – inspired by the PHILTH mural from Paint Fest 2023 that still proudly lives on our building.

​

If you didn’t get a chance to join us this year, be sure to add Swindon Paint Fest to your calendar for next summer. In the meantime, scroll through our highlights to relive the atmosphere and see the incredible talent that makes this one of Swindon’s most exciting annual events.

A massive thanks again to everyone involved for making Paint Fest 2025 a weekend to remember.
