The Bridport community has collaborated to create the UK's longest mural.

Bridport has beaten Doncaster's previous record of 108 metres long - with the new mural outside Bridport Football Club reaching 133 metres.

The aim of the mural project was to encourage young people to design and create ambitious artwork in the town that celebrated the local area and gave voice to their views for the future.

The youth-led project was supported by Bridport Arts Centre, with funding from Bridport Town Council and Dorset Council.

The project began with an agreement from Bridport Football Club that the wall could be a canvas for a street art mural. Bridport Arts Centre's Youth Officer, Bryony Moores O'Sullivan, held workshops at the school at which students developed the plans for the project. Local artists Marina Renee-Cemmick, Jo Burlington, Kate Genevieve, Immy Nailen, Molly Bruce, Delphine Jones and Annalisa Renee supported students during the painting, braving the hottest day of the year.

Local artist, Marina Renee-Cemmick, said: "We've tried to transform sixty-six panels of concrete into something that's exciting, energetic, and colourful for everyone to enjoy. When you create a nice environment and space that's interesting for people, they enjoy it rather than defacing it, because they feel a part of it."

Cllr Ian Bark, Mayor of Bridport was impressed by the mural project, adding: "It has been a long-held ambition to brighten up the walk into town from the football club car park. What a great job the team has done."
