Join Chris Dixon, Ashford Arts and Cultural Industries Manager, at the Hillcrest centre where he will talk through Ashford Borough Council's recent mural festival.

According to Chris: "Unframed, Ashford’s first mural festival officially came to an end on Sunday 16 April. The eighteen-stop, contemporary street art trail, saw the transformation of blank walls and building surfaces into high quality mural paintings and bespoke integrated artwork."

Chris' talk will be followed by an open discussion chaired by Guy McQueen, Lewes District Council - Regeneration Project Manager, about possible murals in Newhaven.
