Inspired by the flipside of vinyl recordings b-side offers you the opportunity to explore this coastal resort with new eyes. It’s not all kiss me quick hats, ice creams on the esplanade and amusements – there is more…

This year we have commissioned brand new work by leading artists that will delight, amuse, inspire and provoke.

Take tea with Msr Poopouri, dare to enter the I Scream Van as it prowls along the Esplanade, sit amongst the wild beauty of a coastal community garden and let Portland Islanders coo you to sleep, absorb the sounds and voices of the past as they emerge from the spaces that inspired them or experience a vast panoramic video artwork transforming the Nothe Fort as time itself visibly passes in front of you.
