Lyme Regis Torchlight Procession

Langmoor and Lister Gardens will flow with a river of light as hundreds gather for the magical Torchlight Procession providing a spectacular start to Lyme Regis Carnival Week. Participants walk with flaming torches through the gardens down onto the sandy beach where a ring of fire is formed. Torchbearers then cast their torches to ignite a giant beacon on the beach. It’s a wonderful experience for those taking part and a truly breathtaking spectacle for those watching. The best vantage point to witness this spectacular event is anywhere on the seafront in the proximity of the sandy beach or in the gardens above. Torches are available for £6 each. LED foam batons for children under 16 cost just £4.00. Buy your torches online via the Regatta & Carnival website . Numbers are limited so reserve your torches early to avoid disappointment.

More about Cobb

Dorset, England

Cobb sits pretty on the Jurassic Coast with a view that makes you forget your to-do list entirely. There aren't any big venues right here in town, but the nearby villages have enough theatre and live music to keep even the most discerning local entertained without needing to drive far. Pub quizzes often pop up along the coast path and craft fairs roll into town when the weather holds out. Near Here gathers all these scattered events so you don't spend your Sunday scrolling through a dozen different sites while watching the rain slide down the windowpane.
