Lyme Regis Snowdrop Walk Memorial Service 
Weldmar Hospice Snowdrop Walk Memorial Services are an annual opportunity for the families and friends
of past patients to reconnect with the Trust.  The services each have a different style and format and whether they are held outside - where those attending gather at a snowdrop walk or garden – or within local churches, each service has a common purpose, which is to remember those we have loved and who have died within the care of the Trust or otherwise.  The Lyme Regis service will take place at the St Michael & St George Roman Catholic Church at 11am For more information call Nikki Grattan (Hospice Secretary) on 01305 767527 or email nikki.grattan@weld-hospice.org.uk or Click here

Have you got time to spare to keep part of Lyme’s heritage thriving?

The town’s restored 14th century working watermill produces stone-ground flour from local organic wheat and lies within a courtyard complex in the heart of Lyme containing a variety of Artisan Shops, Studios, Galleries and a Millers Garden. Spring 2010 will be an exciting time with the opening of the Malthouse Community Space and Lyme Bay Brewing. 

Can you spare a few hours a week or month? We need people to regularly volunteer as millers, staffing the gift shop, stewarding the gallery, and helping out to keep the environment, including the gardens and the courtyard, attractive for our visitors. You’ll find that enthusiastic, generous and friendly people make up the community at the mill.  As well as being involved with a unique heritage project you will have the chance to meet many visitors from around the globe.

 For more information please visit our website www.townmill.org.uk or contact the Town Mill on 01297 443579,  info@townmill.org.uk
