Whether you’re planning a community get-together, a sporting competition, or a large-scale festival, Weymouth is the perfect place to bring people together. The town offers a variety of open outdoor spaces ideal for events of all sizes — from the sandy stretch of Weymouth Beach to the vibrant green of Lodmoor Country Park, and many more in between.
 

While some events are confirmed early in the year, our programme continues to evolve to reflect local interest, seasonal opportunities, and fresh ideas. We’re always open to new and exciting additions!
If you’re interested in holding an event, you’re in the right place. Here you’ll find all the information, policies, fees and charges you’ll need to get started.

Applications should be submitted generally 3 months prior to the event date; although this will vary depending on the scale of your proposed activities. Larger major events could take between 6 and 12 months or more to organise and plan.

You may also consider looking at Weymouth Town Council grant scheme. Organisations that work with communities in our area are able to apply for a grant from us to help fund new projects, equipment, events or training. More information on this can be found here: Grants – Weymouth Town Council | Weymouth Town Council

Weymouth Town Council collaborates closely with the Safety Advisory Group (SAG), and all large events and in most cases brand new events are required to go through their review process. We highly recommend that new event organisers visit the SAG website for a wealth of helpful information and documentation including an event management plan template. You’ll find guidance on planning community events, large-scale events, and other specific topics that may be relevant to you. For further details, please visit their website.
