This activity is part of b-side festival 2026 – That Other Place.
This year’s festival theme, “That Other Place,” draws inspiration from the Isle of Portland’s proud oddness, the now-defunct Portland Fair, and local resident David Palmer’s extraordinary Fair archives.
In 2026, b-side are bringing this to life through artists and communities bringing back their interpretation of the Fair alongside ambitious, year-long artist projects rooted in the island.
The Portland Fair was a hugely popular event for more than 200 years – part childhood rite, part otherworldly escape – That Other Place will reawaken the experience of it in a stranger, twistier, sideways sort of way.
