Culture Quest at Lyme Regis Museum

This summer, Lyme Regis Museum is proud to be part of Culture Quest – a Dorset-wide adventure designed to inspire children and families to explore the amazing creative and cultural opportunities right on their doorstep!

Culture Quest is open to children aged 5 to 11, who collect a special Culture Passport from their local library at the start of the summer holidays. Visit us here at Lyme Regis Museum and take part in one of our exciting summer activities – from fossil polishing and clay modelling to our interactive In the Footsteps of Mary Anning sessions – and you’ll earn a stamp in your passport. Collect 5 stamps from venues across Dorset to complete your Culture Quest, then return your completed passport to the library to receive a certificate and be entered into a prize draw to win a yearly pass to a cultural venue of your choice!

With a packed programme of drop-in activities running throughout July and August, there has never been a better reason to come and visit us this summer. Check out our Families Activities page to find out what’s happening during your visit – and don’t forget your Culture Quest Passport!
