The building that entertained a town

The Pier Bandstand building has a rich and colourful past. For decades it was the entertainment heart of Weymouth's seafront — a place where people came to dance, laugh, gasp and cheer. From lively dance halls and theatre performances to the roar of the crowd at wrestling shows, this building has seen it all.

Those days of live entertainment are long gone, but the building remains and so does the energy. We are passionate about keeping that same spirit alive — the sense that this is a place where people come together and leave with a smile. The Pier Bandstand Gift Shop is our way of honouring that history and making sure Weymouth's seafront stays as special as it has always been.

"Same spirit, same seafront, same smiles — just a new chapter."

The Entertainment — Then

Dance halls, theatre performances and wrestling shows — this building was once the entertainment heart of Weymouth's seafront.

🎭

Theatre & Stage

This stage once hosted theatre performances that drew crowds from across Dorset and beyond.

Wrestling Shows

When We're Open

We're out here on the seafront every day — as long as the weather plays ball. A bit of drizzle? No problem, we'll be here. But if it's a proper downpour we'll sit that one out!

During the summer season we stay open later so you can make the most of those long, golden evenings by the sea.

When the sun's out, we're out. Simple as that.
