Weymouth is an amazing seaside town with many sites of interest and one of my preferred is the Brewery Days and Timewalk Museum, which is a amazing place to visit if you love history, although it is also a good experience for all the family. This prized attraction sends you to Portland and Weymouth's past spanning around six hundred years and you will sense the sights, sound and smells all through the entire journey which make this an truly enjoyable experience.
Firstly you go into the brewery archivist's office and make sure you look for the hands of the old clock as they start turning the wrong way, taking you back to the time of the 14th century when the settlement was in the grip of the Black Death. There are many realistic life-size arrangements each of which present the history of the area through the ages. These include the town's preparations for the imminent coming of the Spanish Armada in 1588, and in Hope Square there is an iron chest on exhibition which is said to have been reclaimed from the San Salvador, a Portuguese flagship of the Armada.
There is also the Victorian brewhouse where you will come ...
... across the Brewery Days attraction which grants you an insight into the brewing history of Hope Square stemming from 1821 right up to to the present day. To keep up with up to date attractions there is an interactive gallery with audio and visual presentation which tells you tale of the brewery's past as well as the procedure of producing the beer. Ultimately you arrive at the Drum & Dancer which is a Victorian bar where you get to try one of a choice of exceptional ales which are produced on site by The Quay Brewery.
If beer is not for you then you can take a stroll around the twenty or so shops that are enclosed in the brewery building. These shops specialize in a variety of exclusive goods and will be of interest to many. For those who would contemplate visiting the Brewers Quay and Timewalk Museum the opening hours are 10.00am - 5.30pm seven days a week all year round.
