Inside Out Dorset Festival

About Us

Inside Out Dorset, the international arts festival, returns this autumn  with art and performances outdoors that celebrate the county’s sense of place. Running over two weekends from 15 - 24 September 2023, Inside Out Dorset is hosted by Dorchester-based outdoor arts producer Activate.

You will find more information on the events taking place in each location here.

Inside Out Dorset 2023 will take place at five of Dorset’s remarkable urban and rural locations: Moors Valley Country Park & Forest, Poole, Wimborne, Bere Regis and Weymouth.

With the current climate crisis, we try to work in a greener way and understand that we all need to be part of the solution in protecting our planet. We encourage you to consider how you travel to the festival and adapt to ‘greener’ ways if possible.

We aim to make our festival as accessible as possible, and will provide Access Guides for each of the festival locations closer to the time.
