A 4‑day art festival, new commissions, events, walks, talks — explore the Isle of Portland with b‑side as your guide,
Come and join us in celebrating This Land, the limestone isle of Portland that is our home, in all its splendid, fragile beauty. For the past two years, b-side has been exploring Portland's past and imagining ambitions for its future. A two-year programme of knowledge sharing and creative exploration between residents, visiting researchers and artists comes together in this year's festival through artists' commissions, exhibitions and conversations.
