Weymouth is an historic seaside town with countless places of interest and one of the best is the Brewery Days and Timewalk Museum, which is a fantastic place to visit if you like history, although it is also a great experience for all the family. This prized attraction sends you to Portland and Weymouth’s past spanning some six hundred years and you will feel the sights, sound and smells during the whole trip which make this an memorable experience. Firstly you enter the brewery archivist’s office and be sure you observe the hands of the old clock as they start turning backwards, taking you back to the era of the 14th century when the area was in the grip of the Black Death. There are many accurate life-size scenes each of which present the history of the region through the ages. These include the town’s preparations for the looming arrival of the Spanish Armada in 1588, and in Hope Square there is an iron chest on exhibition which is believed to have been retrieved 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 offers you a look into the brewing history of Hope Square stemming from 1821 right up to to the present day. To keep up with modern day attractions there is an interactive gallery with audio and visual presentation which tells you tale of the brewery’s past as well as the process of making the beer. Lastly you reach the Drum & Dancer which is a Victorian bar where you get to try one of a variety of fine ales which are produced on site by The Quay Brewery. If beer is not your thing then you can take a leisurely walk around the twenty or so shops that are within the brewery building. These shops focus on a variety of exclusive goods and will appeal 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.
