The exciting and vibrant cultural programme showcases a whole host of maritime related events: if your interest lies in water sports or maritime heritage there will be something for you including the opportunity to try a new sport; sailing, windsurfing, kites surfing, kayaking or scuba diving.

Look out for the many cultural events taking place over the 14 days, many of which are free to attend, or just soak up the atmosphere at what is set to be one of the South West's biggest cultural events.

Copies of the 'Spirit 2010' programme of events (pdf, 243kb) (opens in a new window) are also available FREE of charge from Weymouth, Portland, and Dorchester Tourist Information Centres and the Brewers Quay Timewalk Reception.
