Don't bother, it's gone
Every one of these is still advertised as open somewhere online today
Closed August 2019, dismantled December 2019
Jurassic Skyline observation tower
The old Weymouth Sea Life Tower, a 53 metre observation tower on the harbourside that opened in 2012. It failed to reopen for the 2019 season, Merlin announced permanent closure on 2 August 2019, and the last section came down on 9 December 2019. Third party guides still list it as an attraction.
Closed 30 December 2024
Cineworld Weymouth
The town's only cinema shut after 25 years when the landlord rejected proposals to keep it going. It was the first of six sites closed under Cineworld's restructuring.
Closed April 2019, since demolished
Weymouth Bowl, St Nicholas Street
There is no bowling alley in Weymouth. Dorset Council bought the long leasehold in January 2022, demolition was approved unanimously in April 2024, and the cleared site has been under archaeological evaluation.
Last sailed 2015
The Channel Islands ferry from Weymouth
Condor moved its main UK port to Poole in 1997 and the last Weymouth sailings were in 2015 when Condor Liberation entered service. Funding to rebuild the berth was never secured. People still turn up at the Quay with a suitcase.
This is why the site exists. Weymouth lost its Tourist Information Centre in 2021 and nothing replaced it. A tower that came down in 2019, a cinema that shut in 2024 and a ferry that stopped in 2015 are all still listed as attractions somewhere online. Nobody in town owns the job of saying that has gone, so we do.
