The spectacular display will take place on Weymouth seafront at 10pm after a beacon lighting ceremony at the Nothe Fort. The beacon lighting at 9.45pm is part of a nationwide initiative which will see beacons simultaneously lit throughout the UK in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

As part of the bank holiday weekend celebrations, there will also be fairground rides on the seafront and the Pavilion forecourt, and the evening will also coincide with the weekly Thursday night bike night evenings on the Esplanade.
