Purbeck Art Weeks

Creativity, performance and discovery at Purbeck Art Weeks

Purbeck Art Weeks 2026 will bring two vibrant weeks of creativity, performance, and discovery to one of the UK’s most beautiful regions. Visitors can look forward to a spectacular opening night with the renowned vocal ensemble I Fagiolini, followed by a rich programme of music in Purbeck’s distinctive venues. Visual art will be everywhere—from the Festival hub at Rollington Barn to Open Studios across the area—featuring painting, ceramics, sculpture, textiles, glass, and more, along with demonstrations and opportunities to meet the artists.

Throughout purbeck art weeks, guests can enjoy exhibitions at Castle View in partnership with the National Trust, explore bold new work from both emerging and established artists, and experience the much-loved Purbeck Young Artists display. With pop-up craft activities, a mix of free and ticketed events, and easy-to-reach studios set against Purbeck’s coast and countryside, the festival offers something for all ages. The full 2026 programme and booking details will be released soon, with updates shared on social media.
