New street art has appeared in Bedminster to mark the release of Aardman's latest film.

The production house behind Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep has partnered with Upfest to create the trail, based on their new short film Robin Robin, which is available to watch on Netflix.

One of Bristol’s most celebrated street artists, Alex Lucas, was hand selected by Aardman’s Dan Ojari and Mikey Please to recreate the film’s characters in her own style.

“It’s been important to us to acknowledge the local craft and creative community within Bristol so what is more fitting to the city than a mural trail," they said.

Painting began on 8 November where Alex created 11 murals in Bedminster, completing the trail on the 23rd.

You can start the trail on North Street at McColl’s Newsagents and end up at the Rope Walk on Bedminster Parade, paying particular attention to the Upfest Gallery, Rhubarb Jumble, Toyville, Viva La Mexican, The Emporium and more along the way.
