OVER 250 FABULOUS EVENTSWeymouth and Portland based on the spectacular Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site is host to over 250 amazing events, festivals and theatre shows throughout the year.

In 2019 this truly eventful destination on the South Dorset Coast will give a warm welcome to over 1 million event visitors, competitors, participants and passionate supporters from Great Britain and around the world.

Spend a day by the sea and enjoy the sights, sounds and sunshine. Weymouth is buzzing with charm and is enriched by a full calendar of events and a range of activities. From historical attractions and nature reserves to water sports and art galleries – there is so much to experience here. Breathe in the fresh air with a gentle stroll along the Georgian promenade and the town’s 17th century harbour. Continue your walk up to the Nothe Gardens and fort and take in the magnificent views of Portland and the world-class sailing waters. Weymouth is a great destination for a visit all year round, perfect for a spot of shopping by the sea. Walking through the town’s central streets you will see your favourite national stores. Alongside them are our charming independent shops which are the perfect places to explore and discover your unique gift.

MEGA YEAR OF GREAT EVENTS

Look through the events planner and there is something for everyone, World Class Sailing to Triathlons, Seafood Festival to Beach Volleyball Championships, Live Music to Military and Veterans Events, Fireworks and Christmas Pantomime. Event venues are as diverse as the events from Theatre to National Sailing Academy, Award winning beach to Harbour and Fort to bustling town and many splendid open spaced parks.

DELICIOUS FOOD FOR THOUGHT

After enjoying an event why not explore the town followed by a drink and meal in one of Weymouth’s many friendly pubs, cafés and restaurants.

And remember so many of the events are free…just another reason to visit Weymouth and Portland.

WELCOME

LET US ENTERTAIN YOU!Welcome to Weymouth Pavilion, Weymouth’s premiere venue for live theatre, music, arts, events, and more! Located at the end of Weymouth’s award-winning beach, with stunning views across Weymouth Bay, we offer ‘something for everyone’ no matter what your interests.

Whether you’re into pop and rock music, to classical and dance, we’re sure you’ll find something at the Pavilion to suit you!

It wouldn’t be Weymouth without our award-nominate pantomimes, with not one but two each year! Our unique summer pantomime PIRATES OF THE PAVILION is returning during the summer holidays for an incredible sixth year to take the whole family on a brand new ancient Egyptian themed adventure! The Weymouth Panto also returns for another Christmas season with the greatest pantomime of them all, CINDERELLA. This year’s magical production is set to be our biggest yet, with jaw-dropping special effects. So don’t miss the ball, grab your tickets now!

We are entering 2019 with a new lease of life, following a major exterior refurbishment that boosts new windows and spectacular outdoor lighting to enhance your experience while enjoying the theatre and Weymouth’s incredible beach.

Weymouth Pavilion is not just about top entertainment: The Ritz Café and Piano Bar restaurant are open every day for everything from hot and cold drinks and snacks, to three course meals and Sunday Carvery! The Piano Bar and Balcony boast unrivaled views across Weymouth Bay – the perfect way to spend a lazy sunny afternoon!
