Time is running out to apply for a stall at this year's Weymouth Community Expo.

Following on from the success of the first event last year, Weymouth Town Council’s Community Expo will be returning in May at the town’s iconic Jubilee Clock.    

The event is a twist on the council’s annual town meeting and highlights the work of voluntary and community groups in the town.

It also provides an opportunity for residents and visitors to find out more about council services and projects, and how you can get more involved in the decision-making process. 

Mayor of Weymouth, Cllr Ann Weaving said: “This is a great event for your organisation to get involved in having a stall for the day. Due to the location at the town’s Jubilee Clock, you can interact with Weymouth residents as well as visitors, and raise awareness about all the work you do.

"There is still a chance to apply to be part of the event, so make sure you get your applications in by Friday, May 5.” 

There will also be a chance to meet the newly elected Mayor of Weymouth at the formal Annual Town Meeting itself at 1pm at the Town Council stand. 

If you are a local charity or community group that would like to take part and run a stall at the free event, then Weymouth Town Council would love to hear from you. The deadline for applications is still open until Friday, May 5 at midday.
