# Portland Bill Lighthouse and Visitor Centre

Newly opened in 2015, the former lighthouse keepers' dwellings now feature fun and informative maritime displays and interactives

With the help of a generous grant from its Maritime Charity, Trinity House has renovated the Visitor Centre at Portland Bill Lighthouse. Opened to the public on 29 March 2015, the impressive new main exhibit allows you to learn about the lighthouse and its keepers and find out about Trinity House, the organisation that operates the lighthouse and has safeguard the mariner for over 500 years. The new exhibition contains a number of interactive displays and historical artefacts and offers the opportunity to encounter a stormy sea journey in the exhilarating zone Into The Dark.

Please be advised that whilst the visitor centre is open on selected dates, the tower is currently closed due to modernisation which is due to complete Spring 2020. Please click within the calendar below for specific opening times.

If you are planning to arrive at the centre towards the end of the day we would advise calling the lighthouse on 01305 821205 prior to arrival to confirm the final tour time and remaining availability
