These relaxed, family-friendly activities give you the chance to polish a fossil and reveal the hidden patterns and details formed millions of years ago. Guided by our friendly team, you’ll learn how fossils are preserved and why Lyme Regis is one of the world’s most important fossil locations. No previous experience is needed and all tools and materials are provided. Each participant takes home their own polished fossil as a unique souvenir of their visit. There is a small charge for your chosen fossil. Drop in activity, Museum admission required. Date | 21st July Time| 10am – 3pm

Smelling salts may be supplied for the faint hearted! Suitable for families. Walk lasts 90 minutes.

Museum Entry & Town History Walk (Peter)

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. Museum Admission & Town History Walk included in ticket price. Book a Walk Here > Instructions for booking: Please select the amount of tickets you would like and click ‘Continue’. Choose a Walk date (only dates with availability will show on the calendar). Click ‘Continue’ and then ‘Select’ to add the Walk to your basket. Follow further instructions to pay for the items in your basket.
