Portland House, Weymouth Open Day
We are pleased to open the doors of Portland House in Weymouth for public viewing this May 2025.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
This stunning Art-Deco, Hollywood-Spanish inspired style villa on the Dorset coast will be open for 3 days on 2nd, 3rd and 4th of May 2025. Opening times are 10-4 with last entry at 3pm.
Entry is free and there will be a small catering unit selling hot drinks and refreshments (both cash and card will be accepted). Also available are the collectable pin badges which can be purchased with cash only. Lounging elegantly at the top of a slope overlooking the harbour at Portland, this extraordinary house, surrounded by a huge garden and terraces invokes the sophistication and luxury of old-school Hollywood, with its palm-fringed drive, pacific-blue Crittal windows and the house itself dazzlingly white against the blue of the sea beyond.
We will also have a Visitor Passport Stamp so please bring your National Trust passports if you'd like to collect a free stamp.
