Offbeat is a venue which is an artiste collective and is encouraging more artistes to come together. Has a vibe of passion and creativity throughout the venue. The venue OFFBEAT is perfectly equipped with a massive pub/workshop space in the day which converts to a party venue in the night. Like every year we set the Social dancing hours bar very very high, this year we are planning to the same. Hoping to get permissions to continue to dance till 2am in the morning if not longer The most attractive part of KSW 2023 is going to be the bunker style accommodation. Absolutely fantastic, spacious, clean and apt for our requirement. Participants are going to absolutely love this room setting at KSW. The reason we moved to this venue is to be to encourage more people to stay at the venue at a very basic cost. ----------------- CURRENT PASS PRICE (Price Valid till 4th May 2023) FWP + 5 Meals + 3 Nights Bunker Stay with Breakfast: ₹12800: (Most recommended as you will not need to step out for anything.
