Few places do seafood quite like Dorset. Every September, Weymouth’s historic harbourside transforms into a feast of flavours, drawing seafood lovers from all over the country. Expect the scent of sizzling mackerel, the sound of live music, and a laid-back seaside vibe that’s impossible to resist.
What You’ll Find
- Chef Demonstrations: Watch top local and celebrity chefs create mouth-watering dishes, sharing tips you can try at home.
- Tasting Stalls: From creamy chowders to oysters and lobster rolls, there’s something for every palate, even if you’re not a big fish fan.
- Local Drinks: Dorset ales, craft gins and sparkling English wines flow freely.
- Music & Entertainment: Live bands and sea shanty groups keep the harbour buzzing.

Make it a weekend, turn the trip into a mini-break. Stroll along Chesil Beach, visit Portland Bill Lighthouse, or hop to Abbotsbury Swannery. Dorset’s Jurassic Coast offers stunning walks and cosy pubs for a perfect post-festival wind-down.
Whether you’re slurping oysters, learning a new recipe, or simply soaking up harbour views with a plate of fish and chips, the Dorset Seafood Festival is a celebration of everything delicious about the British seaside.
