It’s April, and I’m getting ready for some fantastic spring engagements and events that are coming up in Weymouth over the next couple of months!
I am attending the Anzac Memorial which is on Tuesday 25th April at 10.20am. Anzac Memorial Day commemorates the thousands of Australian and New Zealand volunteer service personnel who passed through camps and hospitals in Dorset during the First World War between battles in the Middle East and those on the Western Front in Europe.
Looking ahead to the King’s coronation, Weymouth Town Council will hold a Coronation Community Concert on Sunday 7th May featuring local acts, performance groups and finishing with a local headline band. Weymouth’s Youth Council have also been invited to be involved. And a firework display will also take place on the Sunday night which will encourage a lot of foot fall across Weymouth’s seafront and town centre. There are lots of communityorganised events happening in Weymouth, as well as the official programme organised by Buckingham Palace. Visit the events section on Weymouth Town Council’s website for full details.
Following on from the success of last year’s first Community Expo event, the Weymouth Town Council event returns in May, located at the iconic Jubilee Clock. Residents, local charities and communities are encouraged to take part or come along to the dropin event. It provides a great opportunity to showcase many of the great voluntary, community and charitable organisations that operate in Weymouth. The event will run from 11am-2pm on Saturday 20th May, located at the Jubilee Clock.
We recently received some great news that Weymouth Beach was awarded second best beach in the UK and 14th in Europe by Tripadvisor! This was wonderful news as we prepare for the summer season. It’s great to see Weymouth Beach get the recognition it deserves. Our beach wouldn’t be what it is if it wasn’t for Weymouth Town Council who manage the area, our partners who support them as well as the residents and tourists who visit all year round.
