Landscapes of Dorset and
Cornwall
13th June - 13th August 2023
Caroline Nairn is a
Weymouth-based artist whose inspiration comes from the Dorset
countryside and West Country coastline. Her love of nature, walking and
sketching outdoors has led her to create this exhibition of paintings
and drawings, called Landscapes of Dorset and Cornwall. Caroline
usually works in acrylics, pastels or mixed media, and her focus in this
show is on depicting local scenes, especially trees, water and rock
structures, as the shapes and patterns in these natural forms provide
her with fascinating projects.

WATER AND SKY
15th August-1st October
2023
In this exhibition, two
local artists--Mary Noon and Vivienne Littley--explore the constantly
changing environments of our skies, seas and waterways through the media
of watercolour, acrylics and collage. They capture luminosity with
metallics, drama with textures and emotional interaction through colour,
offering the viewer a varied and exciting palette.
As they explain, “we have
chosen ‘Water and Sky’ as our theme as we are constantly drawn to
their ceaseless fluidity, movement and transformation, even within a few
seconds of observation. New colour spectrums emerge, expressing mood
alterations, sometimes subtle, sometimes dramatic.
New textures are created and dissolved, while the light continues to play
in both mediums of sky and water, while exhibiting a symbiotic
relationship in reflection and mood.”
Tuesdays-Sundays from
10am until 5pm;

holiday openings and admission charges

WALKS and TOURS |
 Do take advice about safe tide times before setting off for more than fifteen minutes hike, without a guide, along our beautiful beaches: - what appears to be an easy bit of ground to scramble over is more likely to be a treacherous mud slide - don't
risk it!

Memorial Walks

FOSSIL WALKS |
|
 Get Fossiling on the Jurassic Coast! Join one of Lyme Regis Museum’s famous fossil walks along this historic stretch of
Dorset coast with Geologist Paddy Howe and Marine Biologist Chris Andrew. Some families return time and again to search with Paddy and Chris among the sand and rocks for fossils that have been washed down onto the beach after 190 million years. For adults and children alike, it’s an unforgettable experience.
