Weymouth Gay Group
Friendship, chat, support, food, drinks & a laugh! Meeting up in Weymouth Pubs & Bars.. Welcome to our 12th year of events!
12 years ago a small group of us discovered that nothing was happening in Weymouth for gay & bi guys (18+). So we made it happen! Just meeting informally once a week in a corner of a pub .... and we still do today, but now TWICE a week! We just like to chat, have a drink and meet new guys .... we found that many of you liked the same too, so join us and enjoy!
Our group and events (and other lgbt events listed) have been hit and affected by Corvid19, but we are ready to bounce back when we get the all clear !
Check out all our website pages for group info and meet ups, plus loads of other local lgbt info, news, & events (over 30 most months, pe corvid19), bars, groups, helplines and more .... your laptop rather than a phone is the best way to see all that we have for you. Enjoy pulling down all the menus!

PLEASE NOTE. Coronavirus, and our events - Updated 04/07/2020
We are pleased to see some of the local pubs opening up now. We will post news of when our pub meetings will re-commence when we have checked with venues about social distancing and accepting larger groups. We will have our WGG beach BBQs before the pubs are fully open, and perhaps park picnics, subject to the weather and any restrictions.
See our group events page here for more info (once known) - https://weymouthgaygroup.weebly.com/wgg-events.html
We also hope some of the many other LGBT Groups in Dorset will slowly start resuming their meetings and events. We will add them to our monthly events calendar once known.

Weymouth Gay Group (WGG) relies on local Pubs for our social meet ups, we had our last official meeting on Thursday 19th March 2020 in The Swan until the crisis is over. Following Government advice the venues we use have closed. eg The Swan and The William Henry (both Wetherspoons) and other pub venues around town used by Weymouth Gay Group. Many of the events run by other local LGBT groups and our allies are now all online. So if you have been putting off getting a laptop and broadband then now is the time! These include Space Youth Project and Dorset Mind. Both are not running their normal events atm, but are running online support. Please see our news page for more upto date information about local LGBT organisations, their cancelled events, and advice coping during these difficult times.

Local events - we are blessed locally with a wide variety of events run a number of different LGBT groups.
LOTS used to be going on... before Corvid19, and we are sure many events will return when it is safe to do so.
Their was often over 30 local events each month. July 2019 was a record month when we listed over 50 events! Below is an example of the variety. Many of these may well be of interest to you, and we hope will be available for you to join once corivd 19 restrictions are lifted and LGBT groups get back to normal.
