Combine your visit to Lyme Regis Museum with an entertaining Town History Walk by one of our knowledgeable Museum Guides. Redeem your entry ticket anytime from 10am in the Museum. Meet outside the Museum for the Walk. TOWN WALK – Our Guide, Peter, has been living in Lyme Regis since 2018 after retiring from the British Army in 2017.  He was interested in the local history and has since developed his personal interest into a guided walk so that he can share Lyme’s fascinating story with others. Starting at the Museum the walk lasts for about an hour and covers a wide span of historical events from the 9th century right up to the present day.  The walk avoids most of Lyme’s challenging inclines and provides opportunities for further individual exploration and discovery.

Talk: 'Sea Monsters Past and Present' by Darren Naish

Talk: 'Sea Monsters Past and Present' by Darren Naish

‘Sea Monsters Past and Present’ An illustrated Talk by Darren Naish 12th June, 3pm, The Pine Hall (Baptist Church), Lyme Regis Ever since ancient times, people have believed that giant, monstrous animals inhabit the seas. If such creatures are real, could they have a direct relationship to the giant sea reptiles – in particular the long-necked plesiosaurs – of the geological past? Join esteemed author and palaeozoologist Dr Darren Naish as he explores our developing ideas about sea monsters past and present, a subject that combines developments in palaeontology with studies of mythology and popular culture. Dr Darren Naish is an author and palaeozoologist affiliated with the University of Southampton. His technical studies involve dinosaurs, the flying pterosaurs and ancient sea reptiles. He has published many books, the most recent including Dinopedia, Ancient Sea Reptiles and Mesozoic Art II. Dr Naish is also chief scientific consultant for the Apple TV / BBC Studios series Prehistoric Planet. This talk is a Fossil Festival special. The Fossil Festival takes place in Lyme Regis on 13/14 June 2026. For more information go to www.fossilfestival.com Book a Ticket
