Events in Weymouth From 23rd March – 29th March 2026

You can find a range of activities across Weymouth this week, from live music in public spaces to family-friendly sessions at community hubs. The programme runs from 23 March to 29 March 2026, reflecting sustained civic engagement through events hosted along the seafront and within established local venues. Evening gatherings take place on Friday nights near the harbour, where acoustic sets are performed by resident musicians in informal settings, some of which have been held at Weymouth Town Hall’s courtyard since early spring. Weekend equestrian displays occur daily from Saturday to Sunday at Preston Park, drawing riders and spectators alike; these events include guided rides along coastal paths accessible via footbridges near Lodmoor.

Daytime activities are concentrated in green spaces such as The Esplanade and Portland Square gardens, where movement-based sessions, ranging from tai chi to walking groups, are held under the supervision of local volunteers. These gatherings follow established patterns: regular walkers meet at 8am on weekdays along the seafront route near Weymouth Pier, while Saturday mornings host intergenerational craft workshops in partnership with Dorset Arts Council.

Evening engagement includes pop-up performances and storytelling evenings that draw participants from nearby lodgings, particularly those accessible via public transport routes such as bus service X5 or rail connections to London Waterloo. Events are coordinated through the Weymouth Community Forum, which maintains listings across local information points including stations at Mount Pleasant Park & Ride.

All activities reflect ongoing rhythms of civic life: seasonal closures and maintenance schedules mean some venues operate on revised timetables; public toilets near Lodmoor remain under inspection due to recent flooding concerns.
