Seasonal Family Activities
There’s something for the whole family at Lyme Regis Museum! We run a range of activities over the holiday period, come and enjoy creative and crafty activities, walks* and talks linked to our exhibitions and collections.
Craft activities are FREE with your admission ticket and are drop-in sessions. Fossil Polishing is a drop-in session and is FREE with your admission ticket but there is a small charge for your chosen fossil.
*Fossil Walks take place daily when possible (depending on tides), to book your place click here. Entry to the Museum is included in the ticket price.
