Event information
A full week of events in support of the RNLI, one of Lyme Regis’s most beloved annual traditions. Activities include a fun run, a bathtub race, crab-fishing competitions, illuminated boat displays, birds-of-prey shows, paddleboarding, fossil talks, and a grand duck race. A spectacular fireworks display closes the week.
Warm, community-spirited and brilliantly varied, it’s a fantastic week to be in Lyme Regis.
