Inside Out Dorset will see outdoor performances and art installations pop up at various locations between Friday, September 12, and Sunday, September 21.
Corfe Castle will host several Catalan artists as part of the festival, with a range of performances and shows across the two weekends.
Catalan artists Eva Marichalar-Freixa and Jordi Duran i Roldós have been at the castle creating their show We Fear.
The artists said: “In Sandy Hill Arts and its surroundings, every corner speaks of change and transformation, converting heritage into new possibilities.
“This idea is the trigger of the whole episode.”
