Cheltenham mural artists transforming schools and businesses with vibrant wall art
Across Cheltenham, colourful murals are transforming school playgrounds, business interiors and festival spaces as demand grows for creative wall art that inspires communities and attracts attention.
Local mural artists Mint + Mabel, the creative partnership of artists Hattie and Erin, have created large-scale murals across the town, working with schools, festivals and businesses to turn blank walls into vibrant works of art.
Based in nearby Gloucester, the duo specialise in hand-painted murals for schools, offices, hospitality venues and community spaces, and have already completed more than 20 murals in Cheltenham schools.
Inspiring learning spaces with school murals in Cheltenham
Educational spaces have been a major focus for Mint + Mabel’s mural work. Their colourful designs aim to create welcoming, inspiring environments that encourage creativity and positivity for pupils.
Their murals can be found in several Cheltenham schools including Warden Hill Primary School, Gretton Primary School and Holy Apostles' Church of England Primary School.
From fun book corner murals and corridor artwork to educational wall graphics, each design is tailored to the school’s ethos and space. The artists collaborate with teachers and staff during the creative process to ensure the final mural reflects the character of the school community.
As schools increasingly look for ways to enhance their learning environments, mural art is becoming a popular way to transform playgrounds, libraries and classrooms into colourful, engaging spaces.
Cheltenham Festivals collaborations
Mint + Mabel’s creative work has also appeared at some of the town’s most celebrated cultural events.
The artists were commissioned to design painted backdrops and large 3D decorative shapes for the Feast Café tent at the renowned Cheltenham Literature Festival. The installation was created alongside local creative Helen Nightingale, whose intricate paper decorations complemented the artwork and helped transform the space into a vibrant dining environment sponsored by Benefact Group.
They were also invited to create a striking photo backdrop for the VIP garden at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival, inspired by the festival’s orange colour palette and the rhythm and energy of jazz music.
Cheltenham businesses embracing mural art
Businesses across Cheltenham are also turning to murals to create memorable interiors and standout shopfronts.
Restaurant chain ASK Italian commissioned Mint + Mabel to decorate its Cheltenham Christmas windows for the past two years, creating festive displays that attract passers-by during the busy holiday season.
Meanwhile education recruitment company Class People worked with the artists to design a large wall mural featuring a bespoke infographic in the company’s corporate colours, turning a plain office wall into a striking visual centrepiece.
