Welcome to our local lgbt EVENTS & DIARY MONTHLY LISTINGS page. If it's a LGBT event in the Weymouth / Portland / Dorchester / Bridport / Dorset area we should have it listed here! |
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

At long last the end is near! (update 06/03/2021) It is hoped that by the end of this year 2021, that local LGBT events will again offer the rich variety that they once did before the pandemic. Below we will add events when the various local LGBT community organisations are able to run them. A few have been running online events during lock down, and these are listed below. If you are aware of a Dorset LGBT event not listed, please do let us know so that everyone else knows! (email weymouthgaygroup@gmail.com) We also list events from the many LGBT groups who visit Dorset. For lots of interesting local Dorset LGBT news please check out our 2021 news page here - https://weymouthgaygroup.weebly.com/lgbt-news-weymouth-dorset-2021.html A PC (rather than phone) is the best way to see us, please pull down all the menus in top blue banner, explore and enjoy all our pages! |

Did you know... This is the place to find out what’s going on for LGBT+ people in our area in Dorset. Plus local LGBT news. Pre covid we often listed over 30 local events each month in our area. Summer (2019) events peaked with a record 51 events in July!! Locally organised events by the LGBT community are boosted by the many visiting LGBT groups to Dorset during the summer, and we try to list them all here. So bookmark this page and keep checking back regularly, as we expect to add lots more events for you to enjoy as the year goes on.
