THE FRIENDS OF LYME REGIS MUSEUM
Registered Charity No. 278774
are proud of the help they have given and continue to give to
Lyme Regis Museum.
We act as a support group, giving financial and practical assistance and many of our members are volunteers at the museum in a wide range of roles.
We exist only to support the museum in every possible way, and to involve the public at large in this unique, vibrant, something-for-everyone place of learning and activity.
Come and join us and become part of the Friends community.Apart from helping out at the Museum in so many ways we also have a social side which features interesting talks, outings, and fun fund-raising events for adults and children. The degree of your involvement in any or all of these aspects of our work would be entirely up to you.
