Weymouth Pavilion

Specialties

A wide range of entertainment is offered here including professional touring shows, comedians, orchestral concerts, popular music concerts, shows for children — hopefully something to suit all!

In addition to the many professional productions, we also provide a platform for all the

talented groups of performers from within the community and these certainly further enhance the wide variety offered.

The three function rooms can cater for any event including weddings, conferences, parties, etc., and we also offer catering options to suit varied tastes and budgets.

We are always happy to arrange any appointment to discuss your requirements and tailor things to suit.

Our «Ritz Café» offers tasty hot and cold meals and snacks, delicious cakes and of course a wide range of beverages. These can all be enjoyed whilst taking in the stunning panoramic views across Weymouth Bay and, during fine weather, tables and chairs are available outside, giving even greater opportunities to enjoy the views!

Although we are no longer an official T.I.C., we are a Tourist Information Point and we will do our best to give you any information you need. We have many leaflets about surrounding attractions and places of interest, along with a range of bus timetables and of course we will try to look up anything we do not have to hand, in order to assist with your queries.

History

Established in 1908.

The original Weymouth Pavilion was built in 1907 for the increasing number of families choosing Weymouth as their holiday destination.

Used for military purposes during the Second World War it reopened in 1949 with a new name «The Ritz». Misuse of a blow lamp used for paint removal caused the Edwardian to burn to the ground in 1954.

The new Weymouth Pavilion was built on the same site and opened in May 1960.

Saved from demolition by the local authority in 2013 the Pavilion is now run by a not for profit Community Interest Company and is going from strength to strength.
