About Off Season

Following the success of last year's inaugural DIY Art Festival, Off Season; Margate is excited to announce its return from January 23rd to 25th, 2026. Born from the passion and creativity of local artists, this initiative aims to invigorate our seaside town during the off-season, when local businesses face economic challenges. The festival will feature a dynamic three-day art trail, showcasing the vibrant artistic spirit of Margate and bringing the community together. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating creativity and supporting our local economy as we make this year's festival an even greater success.
