How many of these things can you remember doing growing up? IT is fair to say that Weymouth is a special place back in the day. Well, it still is, but there was plenty of things that children would do if they were brought up in the seaside town or regularly visited as a tourist. Children and new residents to the area won’t experience the same things previous generations warmly remember, but some of the hallmarks of the town remain standing today. We asked our readers on Facebook what activities they remember doing while growing up in the town or while visiting.
The Covid pandemic has forced a hugely popular folk festival around Weymouth harbourside to be cancelled for the second year running. The Wessex Folk Festival, the popular free celebration of music and dance, was due to take place on Weymouth quayside over the first weekend of June. But when the Government set June 21 as the earliest date for a full lifting of Covid restrictions the organisers said they were left with no choice but to cancel the event. Despite the Prime Minister announcing a roadmap which will take the country out of lockdown restrictions, the uncertainty means many events which would usually take place in the summer are being reviewed.
