Benches and Memorialisation

We are responsible for the maintenance of benches located in the boundary of Weymouth. Benches are inspected annually to ensure that they are fit for purpose. If a bench becomes unsafe then it will be removed. An application can then be made to have a new bench installed, but it is not our responsibility to replace a bench.

Memorialised benches

You can apply for a memorialised bench or to add a plaque to an existing bench on a selection of sites – provided there is availability. Memorial benches could remember a loved one, a friend, or even a beloved pet.

Current Opportunities

We have vacant spots for memorialisation at the Nothe Gardens, Weymouth Peninsula and at the Jubilee Clock.

There are also sponsorship opportunities for the benches at Radipole Gardens.

If you are interested then please download the benches policy below which contains an application form. Please return it to benches@weymouthtowncouncil.gov.uk

You will then be contacted regarding availability. Applications, which must include a completed form, will be on a first come first served basis.
