That’s according to a recent listing by national news organisation, The Independent.
Run by the Weymouth Harbour Traders Association, the festival is a charitable event raising funds for The Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen. It also promotes Weymouth’s historic and picturesque harbour.
Every year, visitors flock to Weymouth to sample the bountiful array of Dorset fare on offer. Much, although not all, is seafood, drawing on a relationship between land and sea that stretches back centuries.
On the news that a respected national newspaper had shortlisted the Weymouth event as one of the top food festivals in the country, Roger Dalton, Chairman of the Dorset Seafood Festival said: “It is great to see that we are so highly regarded."
"This is good news for our sponsors, the stall holders and, of course, the organising team. Most of all, it is really good to see a Weymouth event up there with the UK’s biggest and best.”
Nigel Reed, Chairman of Weymouth BID Ltd, the town’s proposed Business Improvement District, said: “This is fabulous news for Weymouth and an indication of why a ‘yes’ vote is so important in the current BID ballot. We need more quality events like this and the BID will help achieve this.”
