From July 31, the LOVE Local Arts events have seen Littlehampton come together for free family fun in the High Street.

Last weekend saw people create a giant mural for the town centre, and children enjoyed getting creative with chalk the weekend before – click here to see pictures from the events.

Littlehampton mayor Michelle Molloy said she and her family had fun joining in with the mural creation last weekend. She added: “I had a fabulous time learning about using spray paint in a safe and non-damaging way.

“UCanSpray explained how they have done lots of work with young people to educate them on spraying safely.

“They encourage the use of different media such as old vinyl records instead of walls and for permission to be sought before spraying an area.

“My family and I had fun joining in with other participants and being part of the mural creation.
