Weymouth Sculpture Trail

Seek out six artworks recently installed around Weymouth and discover the historic harbour, secret pier and amazing wildlife of the backwater nature reserve.

Between Beach and Backwater

The Weymouth Sculpture Trail links six specially commissioned artworks and invites you to explore and discover different parts of Weymouth, some well known and others less often seen. Inspired by the town’s maritime history and its waterside environment, these thought-provoking works celebrate Weymouth's rich heritage and highlight some of the challenges of a future by the sea. Made with traditional materials or using modern media, from Portland stone and natural oak to digital augmented reality, there is plenty to inspire and to enjoy.

Each artwork in some way reflects the stories connected to their location. Many of them are useful too, offering somewhere to sit down for a while and chat, or just to look around you. Follow the trail to discover new places and stories that tell Weymouth’s long and fascinating story.

The theme of water runs through each of the artworks, which are never far from a water bottle refill unit. These units were recently installed around the town by Wessex Water to discourage the use of single use plastics. 

Location: Various locations across Weymouth, Dorset. You can see a map below for details. 

Open days/times: The artworks are outdoors in public places with no restrictions on viewing.
