The staff will weigh it for a small fee. The police traffic department or the trading standards dept of the local council will be able to tell you where it is. That means that you have to tow the trailer there. There are portable weighbridges that go under the wheels, but I have no idea whether you can hire them. Perhaps a plant hire company could help.
You could use vehicle scales. They are available at refuse transfer stations, highway weigh stations and commercial truck stops. Make sure you confirm that the weights are available for weight testing before you go.
