Visit Weston-super-Mare

Visit Weston-super-Mare Welcome to the official tourism page for Weston-super-Mare.

If you haven't visited Weston-super-Mare for a few years, you will find that it is not just our donkeys that have had a spruce up! Millions of pounds worth of development has gone into our resort over the last five years and we are looking better than ever. In June 2013 Weston-super-Mare Town Council launched loveweston.com, Weston's first dedicated, official destination website, it was re-named V

isit Weston in 2018 to better reflect the importance of the visitor economy for our seaside town, or town by the seaside, whichever way you'd prefer to see it. We aim to advertise and support our accommodation, attractions, places to eat, shops and all local businesses, as well as being the source of information for tourists and local residents alike. A not-for-profit-venture, all advertising income is generated back into the website and our national destination marketing campaigns to promote Weston-super-Mare to all potential visitors.

We'd like to offer our huge congratulations to Mendip Basecamp which has been named as a finalist in the prestigious VisitEngland Awards for Excellence.

The annual awards celebrate the cream of England’s tourism industry, recognising quality, innovation, and outstanding customer service.

Mendip Basecamp, which is part of the Mendip Activity Centre, is one of just three finalists left from more than 1,800 initial entries in the coveted category of Camping, Glamping and Holiday Park of the Year.

David Eddins, Managing Director of Mendip Adventure, said: β€œBeing named a finalist in the VisitEngland Awards is a huge honour and a proud moment for our whole team. Mendip Basecamp started as a bold idea during lockdown - to give people a place to feel free, to reconnect with each other and with nature. We’ve grown it into something really special. Our mission is simple but powerful: to inspire everyone, everywhere to make time for adventure. This recognition tells us we’re doing just that - and we’re only getting started.”

The winners will be announced in June.

"Donkey Surfing" coming soon to The Grand Pier!

The Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare has just announced the launch of a brand-new, unique attraction this spring – Donkey Surfing! 🐴🌊

We know it sounds a little crazy but this daring new activity is the perfect blend of nostalgia and extreme sports, offering customers an incredible new concept of riding the waves on the backs of highly trained donkeys.

β€œWe’re beyond excited to introduce our latest attraction, Donkey Surfing!” said a spokesperson for The Grand Pier. β€œWe’ve added a unique twist to the traditional seaside donkey rides, giving our guests the opportunity to ride the waves while our donkeys show off their surfing skills. It’s a fabulous experience for both our visitors and the donkeys!”

The Grand Pier's beloved mascot, Dani the Donkey, has played a key role in helping train the donkeys for their new wave riding positions. According to the Pier’s spokesperson, Dani has become the donkeys’ surfing mentor, with the animals forming a special bond and appreciation for their trainer.

Donkey Surfing classes will be available for booking this spring, with spots filling up quickly. If you’re eager to be one of the first to experience this attraction, head over to the link below to sign up today.

Are you looking for somewhere special to take mum on Mother's Day tomorrow?

Then how about National Trust Tyntesfield?

The house looks like something straight out of a fairytale with its romantic turrets, pinnacles and sweeping staircases. And, with the blossom in the gardens now coming out, it is the perfect time to visit.

The kids will love it too - especially when you tell them that this remarkable property was funded by bird poo - imported guano (dried bird mess) used to make fertiliser.

Whatever the weather, it offers wonderful walking and great views.

And, for such a quiet place, it also offers some excellent accommodation options with self catering at Norton Court Farm, Sand Bay Retreat and Willow House as well as the South Sands Hotel for those who don't like to cook when they're away.

The blokarters will be back on the beach this weekend.

The Weston Blokart Club is holding one of its club weekends at the Windzone end of the beach on Saturday and Sunday - and it is always a great spectacle to watch as these three-wheeled sail carts race across the sand.

The blokarters should be on the beach from around 11am on both days but the meet-up does depend on the weather.
