What name did Banksy give his 2021 series of coastal works in England?

Banksy called his 2021 series of coastal works in England A Great British Spraycation.

The project appeared in seaside towns along England’s east coast in July 2021. Banksy documented the works in a video showing stencilled scenes involving holidaymakers, seagulls, rats, and other motifs associated with public life and tourism.

The title combines “spray,” referring to spray-paint art, with “staycation,” a holiday taken close to home. It also echoes the phrase “Great British,” giving the project a deliberately promotional and satirical tone while Britain was still dealing with travel restrictions and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The series is sometimes described generically as Banksy’s “East Coast murals,” but A Great British Spraycation is the project’s official published title. The works were created across several towns rather than at one single site.
