On the coast and within the town's boundary is West Bay, a small fishing harbour previously known as Bridport Harbour. In the 21st century Bridport's arts scene has contributed to the town becoming increasingly popular with people from outside the locality.

Palmers Brewery in Bridport (West Dorset - England)
Tours: They welcome visitors to tour the Palmers Brewery from Easter to the end of October. The fascinating guided tour starts at 11.00 am on every weekday (excluding Bank Holidays) and lasts for about two hours. These specialist tours are very popular and they do advise you to pre-book. You’ll go behind the scenes in the historic brewery buildings, to watch every stage of the centuries-old brewing process.
The tour ends with a beer tasting (or a soft drink) in Palmers Wine Store, where you will receive a Palmers glass tankard, commemorating your visit. You can book in person at Palmers Wine Store, which is next to the Old Brewery in Bridport, or call the Wine Store on 01308 427500.
- Heritage: In 1794, Dorset rope and net makers – the Gundry family – built the Old Brewery on the banks of the River Brit in Bridport. Since then, there’s been non-stop brewing on this site. Generations of Palmers have kept the brews bubbling. In the late 19th century, two Palmers brothers – John Cleeves and Robert Henry – bought the brewery and gave it their names: JC & RH Palmer. Today, their great grandsons, John and Cleeves Palmer, work in the company. As Palmers Brewery, it remains among the best of small independent brewers.
Then, the Old Brewery was thatched. Today, parts are still. Outside, the building has changed little in 100 years. The water wheel, forged in 1879 at a Bridport foundry, still turns. The high stone archway, which dominates the front façade, was built for use by traditional horse-drawn Brewery Drays. They delivered Palmers ales until the 1950s, when small lorries took their place. These vehicles could negotiate the archway comfortably. But today’s larger lorries have just inches to spare!
So externally, the Old Brewery looks much the same as it has for 200 years. Inside, the 19th century screening machine is still in place, and used every day. The traditional methods and the brewing process remain. So does the focus on the finest ingredients to achieve distinctive flavours for fine ales. But they move with the times. Their Head Brewer is tasked with implementing significant investment and efficiencies in the brewhouse. They’re constantly blending those surviving values and traditions with 21st century science and systems. Where they use processes and ingredients that have stood the test of time, they do it because they are, quite simply, the best. But to them, they add sparkling new equipment, upgraded production and presentation, and the very latest technologies. They do all this to ensure that fine draught ale continues to be synonymous with the Palmers name.
- Location: Palmers Brewery is situated in Bridport, a charming market town nestling in the hills on the outstanding Jurassic Coast.

What's the future of food in Bridport, Dorset - and beyond?
Bridport in Dorset has a reputation for good food and drink, but could things be improved? Food Future Bridport organised an event in Bridport Arts Centre to provoke ideas and discussion about how Bridport could develop a healthy, sustainable local food economy.
After a short and lively introduction by Linda Hull, local food co-ordinator for Communities Living Sustainably in Dorset (CLS Dorset), a showing of the film Local Food Roots, and a talk by Ash Wheeler of Trill Farm near Axminster in East Devon, people were invited to discuss issues raised and then to say what they would now do for themselves and for their community.
Participants in this video include Kit Vaughan, who's restoring Prime Coppice in the Marshwood Vale in West Dorset, Mike English of Fruits of the Earth health food shop in Bridport, the Bridport artist, signwriter and gilder Jemma Thompson (she re-gilded the iconic golden weathervane on Bridport Town Hall), the Alexander technique teacher and organic food enthusiast Caroline Jucker, Sarah Wilberforce of Transition Town Bridport and Susan Readman of Bridport Community Orchard.
Subjects covered include the desirability of street and farmers' markets, the temptations and drawbacks of supermarkets, the role played by the influential West Dorset MP and 2010-2015 Minister for Government Policy Oliver Letwin in forming the UK's food culture, and much else besides.
