Weymouth’s ever popular Octoberfest is set to make its annual return on Friday October 6th and Saturday the 7th in the Ocean Room, Weymouth Pavilion with its fine seaside views.
This extremely popular event now is now in its 12th year at the Pavilion. It is organised by West Dorset Campaign For Real Ale (CAMRA) and will this year feature over 70 real ales, ciders and perries from Wales. We think this will be the largest selection of Welsh beers ever seen in Dorset.
Tickets go on sale from August 1st, are priced at £11 per session and include a commemorative glass, programme and two halves of beer or cider. (CAMRA members receive an extra pint at the membership stand.)
This event was a sell out last year and customers are urged to get their tickets early to avoid disappointment from the following outlets:
On Line:
camrawdorset.org.uk
Weymouthpavilion.com
or by phoning 01305 783225. Please note the Pavilion charges a £2 booking fee per ticket.
Alternatively, you can buy tickets in person in Weymouth from The Globe and The Doghouse pubs as well as Chalbury Food and Wine or direct from the Pavilion box office.
On Portland, the Royal Portland Arms and in Dorchester, The Convivial Rabbit are also stocking tickets.

The performance in Weymouth will see three giant dolls in oversized crinoline dresses glide through the streets of Weymouth. Their dresses are adorned with patterns inspired by artists Matisse, Cézanne and Vasarely. The dolls’ operatic voices transform the street into an opera house and you’ll be enthralled by a mix of popular songs and opera arias.

Hero & Leander, Or, I Love You, But Everything’s Under Water
2023-09-21 19:30 - 20:30 | The Bay Theatre, The Bay Theatre, Weymouth College, Weymouth, DT4 7LQ, United Kingdom
By Jack Dean & Company
Sing, dance and cry with us in this bittersweet outdoor gig theatre show. Six multi-instrumentalists tell an epic seaside tale through songs encompassing folk, indie, sea shanties and choral music. A story of bad rulers, worse weather and how we keep going when everything is flipping terrible.
Two towns, one rich and one poor, stand separated by a narrow strip of ocean. When the borders close and ships stop sailing between them, two lovers are left stranded on either side. Un phased, Leander takes to swimming across the channel to meet Hero, guided by the light of the lighthouse where she lives. But the jealous and vengeful Hephaestus, carrying an ancient grudge, plots to separate them with a flood like neither town has ever seen.
We all know this will probably end badly. But just maybe, this time, it will turn out different…

Jewel of the Jurassic Coast

As host venue of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic sailing events, the Weymouth area is an international sport event haven. Situated off the World Heritage Site Jurassic Coast, this race is a first-timer favourite, featuring sandy beaches, spectacular coastline and the stunning Dorset countryside.
The one-loop 1.2 mile (1.9 km) swim course is composed of one clockwise lap in a triangle layout. Swim straight out away from Weymouth’s beach and two right turns later you will be headed back to transition.

The one-loop 56 mile (90 km) bike course consists of one anti-clockwise loop through the rolling Dorset Countryside up North to King’s Stag and back to Weymouth via the towns of Godmanstone and Dorchester.
The two and a half loop 13.1 mile (21.1 km) run course begins with a run from Lodmoor Country Park to the finish area, along Weymouth’s esplanade. This provides a spectator friendly run course with support from family and friends.
