Paint festival 'brightens' town for third year

Diana Dors, one of Swindon's most famous exports, features in one of the murals

A street art festival has returned for its third consecutive year.

Swindon Paint Fest - which takes place on Saturday and Sunday - builds on the town's existing mural art trail.

The event's organisers said they want to continue to "brighten up the town and create a sense of pride in local communities".

The programme is full of free interactive events that focus on getting families involved.

This year marks the third Swindon Paint Fest

Brightening up the town centre is among the festival's main priorities

Some of the murals are on buildings, but many have been painted on roadside fencing.

A mural of some of Swindon Town FC's greatest players is among the works on show
