The Regent Cinema

 

The Marine Theatre

Is a 1937 building designed in the "modern" style. It has a stadium type auditorium with Holophane features and light fittings which provide changing coloured lights across the ceiling. Following the Regent's complete refurbishment this Cinema is now a listed building - one of the finest examples of it's type in the U.K. It is fitted with "Ultra" surround sound and refurbishment has been carried out in an "Art-Deco" style.  
Offers a wide and varied programme of events including:
live music, local and professional drama and musical productions, community events and fairs during the day. A traditional seaside theatre overlooking the sea and Gun Cliff walk, with dramatic coastal views from the auditorium and licensed bar.
The Marine Theatre is a fully licensed, multi-purpose venue allowing for seated shows, dancing, and cabaret.
     

Lyme Regis Town Band

  Lyme Regis Radio

which plays regularly on the seafront throughout the summer, was reformed in 1981 after a lapse of thirty years. The Lyme Regis Town Band has established itself as an integral part of the town’s social life. From an original 14 members it has now grown to a full Concert Entertainment Band of 30 players (plus a learner group).

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 Lyme Regis where, on Tuesday evenings from July to September, the Band presents a series of Concerts, which over the years has proved to be enormously popular. 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.  Their CD, recorded at the Woodmead Halls where the band regularly rehearses, demonstrates the repertoire and versatility of the band.

What's on in the rest of Dorset
 

 

   
 
Support the Reds  The Red Arrows have always supported - and been the star attraction at - Lyme Regis Lifeboat Week. We were therefore dismayed to learn the following: 
"The world-famous Red Arrows have been banned from appearing at the 2012 London Olympics because they are deemed 'too British'. Organisers of the event say that the Arrows military background might be 'offensive' to other countries taking part in the Games. The display team have performed at more than 4000 events worldwide, but the Department of Culture, Media and Sport have deemed the display team 'too militaristically British'. Red Arrows pilots were said to be 'outraged', as they had hoped to put on a truly world class display for the Games, something which had never been seen before. Being axed from a British-based event for being 'too British' is an insult - the Arrows are a symbol of Britain.

The Red Arrows have been excellent ambassadors for British overseas trade, as they display their British-built Hawk aircraft all over the world. The Arrows performed a short flypast in 2005 when the winning bid was announced, but their flypast at the Games was to have been truly spectacular.

It is to be hoped that common sense prevails: If you disagree with this decision, sign the petition on the link http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/RedArrows2012/?ref=redArrows2012"  by 17th Sept 2008
