Planning Your Visit
Wherever you’re travelling from, it’s easy to get to Weymouth by road, rail or coach.
The 2024 Dorset Seafood Festival will be held at the Weymouth Peninsula, located at the very end of Weymouth’s beautiful sandy beach and the start of the historic harbourside. Offering spectacular views over Portland and Weymouth Bay, it’s the ideal spot to soak up the atmosphere and celebrate all things seafood. Pavilion Post Code DT4 8ED.

Parking
There’s plenty of parking in Weymouth, but we recommend you arrive early because over Festival Weekend, town centre car parks tend to fill up quickly and some congestion can be expected.
Getting to the Festival
Weymouth is approximately 3 hours from London via the M3, M27, A31, A35 and A354, and just over 2 hours from Bristol on the A37. Roads can get busy around the Festival, so allow plenty of time for your journey. Live travel alerts for road and public transport and journey planning services are available from Dorset Council.
National Express coach services run daily from London Victoria, Plymouth, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and Brighton. The Weymouth bus stop is at 57 The Esplanade, Weymouth DT4 8DG, opposite Marks & Spencer. It will take approximately 7 minutes to walk from here to the Festival site. The terrain is relatively level.
