Free parking available in Weymouth for local groups' events
The Town Council wants to hear from organisations that could benefit
If you're a local organisation putting on an event in Weymouth this year - you might be able to get free parking for it.
Weymouth Town Council's offering up four dates in 2023 to event organisers.
The winning bids will be able to use selected car parks free of charge as along as the events attract local residents and visitors into the town centre.
Weymouth based charities and community groups can now put in requests to be considered by the Town Council.
They just need to state which car park(s) they would like to use, with applications accepted until Monday 20th February.
Mayor of Weymouth, Cllr Ann Weaving, said:
“It’s great to work in partnership again with Dorset Council to provide free parking to support key events that bring people into Weymouth to enjoy a day out.
“Last year, events including the beach motocross, Remembrance Sunday and the Christmas lights switch-on drew big crowds to our seaside town. So, if you would like to apply for free parking to support your event this year, complete our short online survey today.”
There's details for groups on the Weymouth Town Council website, or by emailing events@weymouthtowncouncil.gov.uk.
Applications will then be considered on March 1st.
