What to do and see in Weymouth, England: The Best Museums

May 16, 2022 Randal Brittian

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.

Haven’t visited the gallery itself however purchased a superb painting on line. The staff at the gallery were extremely helpful and shipped the artwork to us. I have to say the packaging was quite amazing and delivery time very good. Geraldine kept me informed as to the status of despatch. Soon as we are able to go out and about again we will be visiting in person

Reviewed By cportm - Brisbane, Australia

We were driving from Gunnislake to Salisbury along the Jurassic Coast when I randomly decided to stop in Abbotsbury because of the Swannery. In the end we couldn't justify £25 to visit the Swannery for just an hour, but we loved the look of the village and decided to park and wander around. Then we came upon the Gallery. Wow. I absolutely love all of the woodwork in the gallery. I think my husband is very happy we don't live in England, because I would fill my house with things from here. Thankfully Australia now lets us bring in wood products (as long as there is no bark or infestation). It was an absolute delight wandering through the gallery and seeing the talent of wood craftsmen from all over England. And the staff were lovely, answering questions and helping to pack things safely for our journey home. We enjoyed reading about the craftsmen and wood and techniques while sipping tea in the small cafe at the back as well. An unexpected find. I hope your gallery continues to flourish and provide visitors with wonderful examples of English craftsmanship.

Weymouth Museum

Weymouth Museum tells the stories that have led to the creation of present day Weymouth. It is home to a fascinating collection of historical artefacts and local history material ranging from Roman times through to the 21st century. The Museum is located in the old Groves Brewery building in Hope Square, just a minute’s walk from the historic harbour side. The building, which is in the north German renaissance style, has more recently been named Brewers Quay and has become a well-loved local landmark.

Loved the quirky mixture of displays. From George III to the first lady referee. Kids loved the ispy trail.
