Purbeck Art Weeks (PAW) Festival is delighted to announce its return from 23rd May to 7th June 2026, celebrating creativity across Purbeck. Following the outstanding success of 2025’s concerts, exhibitions, open studios and vibrant community productions, preparations are already under way for another dynamic fortnight of local arts and culture.
In 2026, visitors can look forward to a rich programme of music, hands-on workshops and visual arts, with opportunities to meet artists in their studios and experience unique installations and exhibitions throughout the region. Highlights include the much-loved Rollington Barn exhibition and collaborations such as the ongoing partnership with the National Trust at the Castle View Exhibition.
Everyone is invited to take part—whether exploring the studios, joining in workshops, or supporting the festival as a Friend or volunteer. PAW continues to be a highlight of the Purbeck cultural calendar, championing artistic talent and the creative community at its heart.
