Children wanting to enter the Guy Fawkes competition should meet in the Weymouth Pavilion foyer with their Guys at 6.45pm.

Weymouth & Portland Borough Council Tourism and Culture brief holder Cllr Jason Osbourne said: “Weymouth’s Big Guy Fawkes event is always a hugely popular occasion. Lots of families come down to Weymouth’s seafront to share one of Britain’s great traditional events, creating a wonderful atmosphere in a fun and safe environment.”
