West Dorset: things to do in the evenings

Chesil Beach Lodge isn’t only perfect as a base for a wide variety of interesting and inspiring day-time activities; there’s a lot going on in the evenings too. Our local area has a wonderful array of restaurants, bars, theatres, cinemas and seasonal activities to choose from, and here’s our pick of just a few:

The Electric Palace in Bridport: always a full programme of theatre, live music, comedy and cinema.

The Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis: a traditional seaside theatre offering a great range of events including live music, local and professional drama, and musical productions.

Riverside Restaurant, Bridport: views of the river, countryside and beyond to the sea; with a menu offering the freshest and best fish and shellfish from local waters and the surrounding area.

The Three Horseshoes, Burton Bradstock: homemade food with locally sourced ingredients, plus a wide range of Palmer’s real ales, lagers, ciders and wines.

Regent Cinema, Broad Street, Lyme Regis.

Plaza Cinema, Dorchester.

Bowling at Lakeside Superbowl, Weymouth.

Discover gruesome and grisly goings-on on a Ghost Walk around Bridport, or on the Lyme Regis Ghost Tour, and the Haunted Harbour Tour and Smuggling Tour in Weymouth.

On a more festive note (and we apologize for mentioning Christmas already!) for those of you planning a stay in December, there are Christmas festivals and late-night shopping in Bridport, and Dorchester.

Now that we’ve brought up the subject of Christmas, we’d like to remind you that we’re open all year round so please contact us to book accommodation in Dorset for Christmas. Our self-catering apartments are perfect for a cosy, fun-filled Christmas, and Dorset is a wonderful place to spend Christmas with your family and friends.
