The Lyme Regis
Society presents a Talk: 'Art
Amongst The Dinosaurs'
by Karol Kulik
For a number of years,
Karol Kulik has been organising the art exhibitions in the very top of
the Lyme Regis Museum, a space known as the Rotunda Gallery. It’s a
pretty, tiny space, but for solo exhibitions of 6-8 weeks duration
it’s ideal.
Of course, the majority
of visitors are expecting dinosaurs, so what can local artists produce
that makes up in some way for the lack of scary fossils?
Well, in this talk, Karol
will give you a roller coaster ride through the work of around 30 Lyme
Regis artists who have bravely met the challenge.
2pm at Woodmead
Halls. All
welcome. Visitors £3.00. Card Payment available
Members Free. Including
Refreshments Socially distanced seating is available if
required.
October 25th
(Wednesday)
TALK.
‘The Wonderfully Versatile Rose’ by
Michael Marriott. Michael is a world-renowned rosarian, formerly spending 35
years with David Austin Roses, so who better to learn from about these
wonderful plants. Please note that the charge for non-members is £5
for this talk. 7.30pm Uplyme Village Hall

Mysterious Adventures:
Paintings by David Brooke
11th October - 26th November 2023
David
Brooke’s paintings create a sense of mystery as people embark on
unexpected adventures such as riding on the back of a large fish, or
running across the landscape carrying a burning tree. The paintings
themselves are meticulously built up in many layers of acrylic paint
creating texture and detail. The style has a look of medieval book
illuminations but with a contemporary twist.
Tuesdays-Saturdays from 10am until 5pm/Sundays 10am-4pm; check
website www.lymeregismuseum.co.uk for
holiday openings and admission charges

Guided Walks and Tours |
Liz Jones Memorial Walks |
|
Liz Jones loved
walking and sourced over seventy circular walks in the area. For several years she and her husband David led the U3A Walking Group and after she died in April 2013 members of this group decided
to make some of her walks available to a wider audience as a tribute.
The Group would like to thank David Jones for his leadership and all his support for this project - re-walking each route
and checking our efforts. Our thanks also go to Susie Gamble for creating the model for the walk maps, Sue Wilson for her layouts and technical expertise and Maurice Liddiard for coordinating the project. Click here for more info

FOSSIL HUNTING WALKS |
|
 Get Fossilling 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.
