Chesil Radio was pleased to be in attendance for the official opening, having already had the opportunity to experience the venue during its soft launch the day before. The transformation is clear from the moment you step inside, with a completely refreshed layout that reimagines the space into a welcoming and vibrant social hub.

For those who remember how the venue used to look, the changes are striking. The redesign has created a more open, modern environment, designed to bring people together—whether for a casual drink, a catch-up with friends, or to enjoy the growing atmosphere in this part of Weymouth’s social scene.

Alongside the physical transformation, The Donkey Social is also making an impression with its pricing, offering what many will see as great value—something that is likely to make it a popular destination for both locals and visitors alike.

However, what truly sets the venue apart is its commitment to giving back. The Donkey Social has pledged to support the local community through its operation, with a portion of proceeds helping to fund local initiatives. It means that pints served contributes not just to a good time, but to a greater cause within Weymouth.

Speaking at the opening, there was a clear sense of optimism about what the venue can bring to the area—not just as a place to socialise, but as a business rooted in community values.

With a fresh look, a strong sense of purpose, and early interest from the public, The Donkey Social is already positioning itself as more than just a venue—it’s a space designed to connect people and support the town it serves.

Chesil Radio wishes the team every success as they begin this new journey, and we look forward to seeing The Donkey Social become a valued part of Weymouth’s community.
