Our events 2026.
Welcome to our 18th year!
Scroll down for our pub and restaurant dates for this year.

You are most welcomed to join us every Monday in The Swan, and with our "Meals Out On Thursdays" in restaurants around town.

It's all very informal, and everyone LGBT+ & allies are welcomed.

Our " Meals Out On Thursdays" (formerly "Meals Out on Mondays") focus on fine food at quality venues around Weymouth's historic harbourside and town. You may need to book with us several days in advance with us to ensure you get a seat, essential during the peak holiday season at popular venues to avoid disappointment.

Thursdays finish with a few drinks in The Swan, where more guys join us to end the evening.

If you need help finding a venue, or our guys with in one, email our group for assistance :- [email protected]

(Please be aware of our group guidelines, https://weymouthgaygroup.weebly.com/wgg-group-guide-lines.html
and note that you need to be 18+ to join us)

The Swan (Wetherspoons) 41- 43 St Thomas Street Weymouth DT4 8EH  (Between Town Bridge and Tesco).
In The Swan you should find us in the right hand corner (as you walk in, near fire exit) on or around table 26. 8pm - 10pm. Food available until 11pm.

If you can't find our group in The Swan, ask the senior bar staff - who can direct you to our table, or email us  at [email protected]

No need to hover in the background, approach our table and say hello. Lets start chatting and a friendship!


In the past we used to put a small rainbow flag on our table, but some people (esp those not out) found that uncomfortable, so we don't do that now. However, you might see our Beer Mats on our table!

September
Please note - with some of our venues you may need to book several days in advance with us. This is to ensure you get a seat at a very popular venue, or because the venue needs to know our numbers well in advance. This mainly applies during the very busy summer months, at other times we can normally accommodate everyone. However, it is very helpful to know in advance if you are attending especially on a Thursday for our Meals Out. Please email [email protected] before attending if its your first time joining us, to help us look out for you.

First time joining us? Monday is the best night for your first time (it's easier to find us) in The Swan. Special welcome to you! Nervous? Anxious? or Excited! Let's help you feel at ease at our pub social group. We can arrange for someone from our group to meet you earlier in the evening if that helps. Or you can chat with us via our email in advance - [email protected]
No need to hover in the background, approach our table and say hello. Let's start chatting and friendship!

We have a WhatsApp group for regular attendees at our group. Its a great way of keeping in touch in-between our meet ups, and also a way of letting you know of any last minute meeting changes (Which does happen!) Ask Neil (the one with long hair!) in our group for more info when you attend.
