OFFBEAT DURSLEY: a curated, creative market-meets-micro-festival.
Offbeat Dursley is not your average market. We’re a grassroots collective of artists, organisers, and local do-ers creating something different in the heart of town.
What is Offbeat?
Offbeat is a grassroots collective of artists, organisers, and do-ers. We curate bold, creative events that celebrate Dursley’s culture, community and future.
What is Offbeat Dursley?
Offbeat Dursley is our flagship event — a curated market-meets-micro-festival blending local creativity, workshops, performance, music, and more.
When is the next Offbeat Dursley?
We’ve postponed to Saturday 6th June 2026 — giving us more time to build something even better, and to coincide with Dursley’s centenary year.
Why the name Offbeat?
Because we like things a little unexpected. We believe creativity doesn't need to follow a straight line — it thrives in the offbeats.
Why the teasel?
The teasel’s spiky, practical, and beautiful — just like us. It was once used to raise the nap of fabric and bring out texture. Offbeat does the same for Dursley: lifting what’s already here and making it shine.
