What is Inside Out Dorset?
Inside Out Dorset is a biennial festival that presents a range of outdoor art and performance, that responds to Dorset’s natural and cultural heritage alongside a programme of family-friendly circus and performance. This year it runs between 16 to 25 September 2016 and is FREE TO ATTEND.
The festival takes place in different areas across the county, and this year locations include Weymouth, Poole, Hengistbury Head and Portland along the coastline, Littlebredy on the South Dorset Ridgeway and Gillingham in the north of the county.
The Inside Out Dorset team are passionate about making the festival as accessible as possible, to various communities. During this festival we are trialling some alternative methods that will hopefully improve access to the art and allow even more people than before to experience this magical festival. We’d love your feedback!
At three of our events, additions will be available to try and enhance your enjoyment – including written descriptions of the works and a Touch Tour. Please contact us in advance to discuss any access requirements.
Deaf and hard of hearing people are welcome at all our events.
