Welcome to Weston-super-Mare

We look forward to seeing you ....
 

Welcome to the official destination website for the original British seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare on the Somerset coast that has been enjoying a revival over recent years.

Steeped with Victorian history and dominated by a fabulous beach, Weston-super-Mare is at the gateway to all the attractions that Somerset offers.  Why not stay here and take some super day trips out and around the area - with visitor numbers to the resort up year-on-year, isn't it time you came to take a look?

Travelling here couldn't be simpler with Weston-super-Mare being easily accessible by road, rail or air. It's easy to get here by road via the M5 coming from the north or the south, there's a central train station, and we're just 15 miles from Bristol Airport. Within close proximity, and again with excellent transport links, you will find Bristol, Cardiff, Taunton and the well known Somerset resorts of Clevedon, Cheddar and Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, Wells, Glastonbury and Street are all within easy reach by road.

Lucky to boast miles of golden sandy beaches, the resort is home to the flagship Grand Pier, the Playhouse Theatre and The Blakehay Theatre,  iconic donkeys, a bustling high street and independent shopping districts, two testing golf courses and  a growing arts and music scene, making Weston a real up and coming cosmopolitan town.

Soon we shall also see the arrival of a new multiscreen Cineworld cinema complex with branded restaurants such as Nando's at the redeveloped Dolphin Square, and much development within the town.  Weston College is gaining university status and has built a law faculty along with restaurants and the refurbished ballroom at the Winter Gardens Pavilion is now hosting events such as dancing and wrestling.  Added to this, Weston Town Council has recently refurbished and re-opened the popular Weston Museum which now offers free entry and a super little restaurant.

The former Tropicana Lido, which hosted Banksy's Dismaland in the summer of 2015, now has a modern cafe, its own programme of theatre events and is an all-round entertainment space that is the venue to many events throughout the year, including concerts and festivals.   It also houses the seasonal Visitor Information Centre which is open from Easter throughout the main season.

The Beach Lawns and Weston-super-Mare seafront are still home to our most popular events that see tens of thousands of visitors flock to the resort every year, such as Weston Air Festival & Armed Forces Day, Weston Beach Race and Weston Carnival.

Weston-super-Mare offers a variety of holiday accommodation, whether you are looking for hotels, bed and breakfasts, campsites and caravan parks or a self catering break, there will be something to suit your taste and budget whether you wish to be right at the heart of the town or a little further out in the surrounding countryside.

Weston-super-Mare is a year-round visitor destination.  It’s a great place to live, work and play and whatever your age, you will find everything you need to have a high-quality holiday.

Why not take a look around and see what's on?
