Some weeks have a habit of sneaking up on you.
You think it’s going to be a fairly ordinary few days, then suddenly there’s a fairy garden workshop on Monday, a crochet club on Wednesday, a charity bingo night on Thursday, and live music spilling into Friday evening.
That is very much the case this week across Weymouth and Portland.
If you’ve been meaning to get out of the house, try somewhere new, or simply remind yourself that there is actually plenty going on locally, here are a few WeyPort Weekday Picks for Monday 30 March to Friday 3 April.
This week’s mix includes creative workshops, exhibitions, family events, quizzes, live music and Easter activities, with something happening pretty much every day.
Whether you fancy a relaxed evening, something for the kids, or a reason to meet up with friends midweek, there’s a good spread of events across the area.
Monday gets off to a surprisingly lively start with a mix of creative, social and outdoorsy things to do.
A lovely crafty option to start the week, especially if you enjoy making things or want something a bit whimsical.
Fresh air, sea views and dogs. Hard to argue with that.
A relaxed way to ease into the week if live music and local sessions are more your speed.
For anyone who likes a bit of friendly competition and a pub table full of answer sheets.
Tuesday leans more creative, with a nice mix of hands-on fun and local culture.
A good family-friendly pick if you’re looking for something playful and messy in the best possible way.
A chance to see Portland through a different lens and support local creative work at the same time.
Midweek is looking especially varied, with everything from crochet to musical theatre.
A quieter, more social sort of evening for anyone who likes making things and chatting while they do it.

Thursday has a slightly chaotic energy in the best way.
An easy crowd-pleaser for families with younger children and plenty of energy to burn.
A nice chance to support a good cause while enjoying a classic local night out.
One for the people who know all the words but none of the artist names. Or vice versa.
By Friday, things properly open up.
There’s a strong mix of Easter events, food, music and community gatherings, so whether you want something family-friendly, reflective, social or just a bit noisy, there’s a fair chance you’ll find it.
A fun start to the weekend with a bit of throwback energy.

What WeyPort always seems to reveal is that there’s usually more going on than people realise.
Not every event is huge. Not everything needs to be booked weeks in advance. Sometimes it’s just a matter of knowing what’s on, where, and deciding to head out for an hour or two.
This week has a bit of everything:
crafts, conversation, exhibitions, theatre, family events, Easter activities, quizzes and music.
So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to actually do something this week, this might be it.
