Mark your calendars for the return of Portland's b-side BIG Weekend!

Bsidebigweekend MCB

Thursday 10th to Sunday 13th September 2026

b-side BIG Weekend offers a 4-day contemporary arts festival, turning the entire Isle of Portland into a whole new world of art, culture, performance and inspiration.

This year's theme represents "That Other Place", a mirror-island, parallel universe that looks like Portland...until it doesn't!
