Prepare for an art attack on Portland as a popular festival returns.

b-side festival is returning to Portland from September 8 – September 11 to celebrate artistic talent, showcasing contemporary art made in response to the island.

The festival will take place all across Portland, taking visitors on a journey, whether they’re joining poet and climber Penny Newell on Poetry Ledge, an experiment to bring poetry and climbing together or helping to work the soil in a performative art piece.

Some events do need to be booked online, for a full list of events and to book, you can find out more here: https://b-side.org.uk/project/festival-2022/.
