Sixth mural installed in Crawley to complete set

A sixth mural designed by a Sussex artist has been installed in Crawley, completing a set of colourful outdoor artworks across the West Sussex town.

The Place That Does It All by Jac Seifert, who went to school in Crawley, is now complete and has been installed on the Manor Royal side of Gateway 1, encompassing the Hazelwick Flyover.

The mural reflects the professional and ambitious character of Manor Royal, celebrating its heritage and community, organisers said.

Steve Sawyer, Executive Director of the Manor Royal BID, said: “This mural is more than just a splash of colour – it’s a celebration of everything Manor Royal stands for: creativity, community, and ambition.

“We’re incredibly proud of how it’s transformed the flyover into a welcoming landmark and symbol of positive change.”

The new mural marks the completion of the Crawley Murals project which has been in development since August 2023.

Creative Crawley has consulted with 350 local residents and worked with five professional artists to bring the six artworks to the streets of Crawley for all to enjoy.

The latest mural was funded through the Crawley Towns Fund, an investment package of £21.1m allocated by the government and administered by Crawley Borough Council.

Jac Seifert said: “I wanted to make the mural as vibrant and engaging as possible to celebrate the unique energy and skills of the Manor Royal business community.”
