Events in Weymouth From 20th April – 26th April 2026

What's on in Weymouth this week?

This week in Weymouth, community events span cultural, educational, recreational, and civic activities. The town’s location along the Jurassic Coast, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, shapes many offerings, particularly those tied to natural heritage and seasonal rhythms.

Beginner birdwatching sessions take place at Portland Bill on 20 April, with guided walks through coastal scrubland highlighting migratory patterns observed since the early twentieth century. A career development forum occurs at Weymouth College on 21 April for local jobseekers focusing on digital literacy and workforce transition.

Evening events include a classical concert at St Catherine’s Church on 23 April, performed by Dorset Chamber Players under an acoustically preserved vaulted ceiling dating to the late medieval period. Live music returns to The White Horse café venue on 23 April with sets from emerging indie acts selected via open mic applications coordinated through Weymouth Arts Hub.

Seasonal markets operate at West Bay and Preston Quay between 19–25 April; these feature locally made ceramics, woolen textiles produced using traditional looms in surrounding farmlands, and preserved foods tied to harvest calendars. Guided tastings of wines grown near Lulworth Cove are held by small vineyards adapting their methods due to coastal soil salinity.

Fitness sessions take place at Weymouth Community Sports Centre on 20 April for young athletes aged 14–18 using training drills first recorded in the town’s inter-school sports league during the 1950s. A community quiz evening takes place across three venues, The Ship, The Blue Anchor, and The Old Inn, from Thursday to Saturday; participation is open with registration available at central libraries.

Meditation workshops occur on two mornings: one focuses on sound bath techniques using gongs from a local metalworking collective in the town’s old parish hall. Another uses bodywork exercises adapted for spring renewal, led by therapists trained through Weymouth Health Outreach programmes established since 2018.

All events are accessible via public transport; key venues lie within walking distance of Weymouth railway station or Park & Ride at Mount Pleasant. Times and locations available in listings below.
