May 21, 2022 Cedrick Jardin

Hit the beautiful beaches of Weymouth to soak up the surprisingly powerful U.K. sun—there are plenty of waterfront options to pick from. The quaint harbor of Weymouth bobs merrily with fishing boats, and, downtown, Hope Square and Brewers Quay bustle with shoppers and merrymakers.

Sandworld Sculpture Park

Weymouth Sand Sculpture Festival aka Sandworld is a seasonal attraction set within Lodmoor Country Park, Weymouth - next door to the SeaLife Centre, and next to a large car and coach park. Sandworld is an all weather attraction created by local artists to showcase the talents of International and UK Sand Sculptors undercover in a huge marquee. There is a large covered sand pit. Visitors are encouraged to "have a go" at sandsculpting having been inspired by what they have seen. It is sometimes possible to engage with artists as they work on new pieces which are added to the site from time to time, and always possible to relax with a drink, snack or icecream at the on site cafe. Activities such as filling sand bottles are available at extra cost, and a gift shop completes the experience where you can buy a postcard of your favourite sculpture or a souvenier of your visit. The attraction has a link to Weymouths long tradition of Sand Sculpting, as Mark Anderson - co-founder of Sandworld - is the grandson of Fred Darrington, who began sculpting on Weymouth beach back in the 1920's. Mark is an International Master in his own right, and can often be found in the sandpit at Sandworld helping aspiring sculptors - young and old - to engage in this most therapeutic of activities. Length of visit times varies widely depending on the individual or groups' level of interest and/or engagement with the art, and of course the weather (although most of the exhibits are undercover, a visit in November will not be the same as a visit in August). Some visitors stay 10 minutes, some stay all day, either way is cool. All are welcome at Sandworld - please come and see us! Open between Easter and Halloween

You have to go here! We payed £22 for 2 adults 2 children 5-12 (under 5 free) and we had 3 hours of fun! The sand pit area is great, the cafe is great, the staff are great and the sculptures are AMAZING! The talent is beyond me! Thank you. We went back today after upgrading £3 for unlimited access until November.

King's Statue

Reviewed By L7768EQdavidd - Devon, United Kingdom

This incredibly grand, ornate and colourful statue stands on the intersection of the Esplanade and St Thomas Street. According to the inscription on the pedestal it commemorates and celebrates the 50th year of the reign of King George the third. The coloured figure is flanked by a crown and a shield. His majesty is looking down the Esplanade towards the Jubilee Clock Tower. At the lower part of the pedestal there is a golden lion on one side and a gold horned unicorn on the other. It is a Grade 1 listed Monument and is certainly eye catching with its size and colourful appearance.
