We're delighted to announce that Mark Hix
is our patron.
The restaurateur and chef grew up in Lyme Regis and went to school at The
Sir John Colfox Academy in Bridport. Mark Hix has a passion for the arts,
and founded The Hix Award - a prize for young artists.
Mark explained his interest ‘We’ve worked with the theatre in the past on
special events – and having enjoyed many nights out there – I am delighted
to accept the invitation as patron. I love the breadth of events. It’s
great that in our small town you can see a play, listen to a band or laugh
at a comedian. I’m looking forward to being an ambassador for the venue.
It’s so important to support culture in our community.’ |

 Unfortunately, due to a
fire, the Regent Cinema Lyme Regis will be closed until further notice.
News Update 09/01/17
Work continues behind the scenes to prepare for a cinema
rebuild in Lyme Regis.
At present, we are still deep in the legal stages of
ensuring that insurance funds can be released. Because it is such a
large and complex claim (the cinema was insured with its Grade II listed
status in mind), this has been a much longer process than we had hoped,
but we are now in the final stages.
Unfortunately, it has not been possible to take plans
any further until this highly necessary stage is completed. Our architects, Northern Building Design Associates (NBDA
Ltd), have come up with initial rebuild plans which, upon the completion
of the insurance stage, will be progressed. This is likely to be another
slow stage as various trade and regulatory bodies have to be consulted,
not least of which is English Heritage who are likely to have extensive
input on the plans due to the nature of the Grade II listing.
Whilst there has been no visible exterior progress on
the building, behind-the-scenes discussions have been taking place over
the last 9 months and Scott Cinemas staff continue to make sure the
remainder of the building is protected and maintained as far as possible
on a regular basis. Depending on the length of time needed to secure
planning consents, it is likely that building work could commence later
in 2017.
We would continue to offer thanks to the people of
Lyme Regis for their comments over the last few months, and we are
genuinely pleased to receive so many messages of support. We truly
recognise the importance of the cinema to the town and surrounding areas
and are doing everything within our power to progress a rebuild scheme.

The Regent was opened in 1937 by a local cinema operator, Mr Donald Hardy. It was designed by Bristol based architect W. H. Watkins who was responsible for a large number of cinemas in the Bristol and South West areas. It was designed in late Art
Deco "streamlined" style. Originally it had a "Hollophane" lighting system: motorised dimmers slowly changed and mixed red, blue and green lights, concealed in troughs, to bathe the auditorium and elaborate wave-like proscenium surround in coloured light. Other than thorough refurbishment there had been very few (and no structural) alterations. On the basis that it was a very fine example
of a small seaside-town Art Deco cinema which had survived intact it has been listed Grade 2. It was fitted with "Ultra" surround sound.
Sadly in March 2016 it was destroyed by fire.

 Lyme Regis Town Band |
The Lyme Regis Town Band has established itself as an integral part of the town’s social life and plays regularly on the seafront throughout the summer. It was reformed in 1981 after a lapse of thirty years.
The main work of the band is in the summer months, when the musicians play several times a week to entertain the tourists and locals alike at various locations in the area The most popular of these is the Marine Parade where, on Tuesday evenings from
July to September, the Band presents a series of Concerts. On a fine summer’s evening these often attract several hundred people. The Band is an integral part of the community and is pleased to support other local organisations such as the Regatta and Carnival Committee, the RNLI, the British Legion, the Rotary Club of Lyme Regis and local schools.

Miller's garden.This ancient watermill, dating from 1340, was rescued from dereliction by local volunteers, through a ten-year restoration project completed in 2001. Today, the Town Mill remains in full working order and its day to day operations continue to be run by volunteers.

Mary Anning (1799–1847).
Mary Anning was a self-educated, working class
 woman from Lyme Regis and the greatest fossil hunter ever known. With her brother she found the first complete Ichthyosaur in 1810-1811 and over the years further sensational finds were made.
Each year Lyme Regis Museum has a celebration of Mary Anning.
Built on the site of the home of Lyme’s renowned fossilist Mary Anning, the
museum is one of the architectural gems of the town and is packed with
fascinating displays. Find out about Lyme’s
early and maritime history, its internationally important geology, its fossils
and the many significant writers connected with the town, from Jane Austen to
John Fowles. |
