FULL details of exciting outdoor performing arts shows in Weymouth have been announced.

The town's spectacular Dusk Til Dark event - a celebration of light, colour and music - is returning for its fourth year.

People can expect to be wowed on the streets of Weymouth this weekend with vibrant displays of visual arts throughout the town.

This free to attend event comes to the town through We Are Weymouth (Weymouth Business Improvement District) in collaboration with Activate Performing Arts.

The popular shows have previously drawn thousands of visitors to town. 

The first night of entertainment will be Friday, September 27. The high energy live music performance Spark! will feature the Whitley Bay-based drumming team Worldbeaters in different locations around the town.

People are encouraged to come along and 'be immersed into the experience'.

You can first catch them at 7.30pm at The Lookout Cafe at Bowleaze, a spectacular way to see the sun set and dusk light up.

There will  be a second performance from the Worldbeaters in Hope Square at 9pm, the perfect place to hear the drums echo.  

Their final performance will be at New Bond Street in the town centre at 10pm

Dom Kippin, producer of Activate Performing Arts said: “Dusk Til Dark in Weymouth has become a real legacy event for the town and we’re proud of the performances we have brought, filling the town with music, art and incredible light displays. 

"Worldbeaters are also working with students of Weymouth College, bringing around 22 new drummers into the mix.  Not only do we have the world premiere of a new show, but it’s set to be bigger and better than we ever imagined thanks to the students. 

"We encourage everyone to join us, line the streets and be immersed in the sound of Worldbeaters.” 

Dawn Rondeau-Irvine, chief operations officer at We Are Weymouth said: "We are thrilled to bring Dusk Til Dark back to Weymouth for its fourth year.

“We know that visitors anticipate this incredible cultural event, a celebration of art, music, and togetherness and this year is no different.

"Dusk Til Dark is sponsored by the business community who invite everyone to enjoy the delights of Weymouth before and after all the performances visiting for both nights. 

"It’s a fantastic opportunity to bring spectacular performing arts events to our coastal town.”
