 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 is 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 have been very few (and no structural) alterations. On the basis that it is a very fine example
of a small seaside-town Art Deco cinema which has survived intact it has been listed Grade 2. It is fitted with "Ultra" surround sound.

 Lyme Regis Museum stands in the heart of the town, just where the beautiful coastlines of Dorset and Devon meet on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. 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. Bridge Street 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 autumn the Museum has a celebration of Mary Anning. |

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. |

Lyme Bay. An RNLI event for Lifeboat Week.
