The British version is "at the weekend."
If you don't have a grammar book, English Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy is an excellent one. The paper edition is affordable and there are PDF copies on the net. Check unit 121 (at the weekend) and check Appendix 7 for differences between British and American English (at the weekend, on the weekend).

"At the weekend", and "at weekends" are used in British English; "on the weekend", and "on weekends" in American English.
