Need a little extra support?

Did you know that the Citizens Advice Bureau outreach service in Lyme Regis can help with much more than advice?

If you're struggling financially, worried about rising costs, or finding it difficult to make ends meet, Citizens Advice may be able to help you access the support available.

This includes making referrals to the Lyme Regis Foodbank where appropriate.

If you think you may need support, Citizens Advice can offer confidential, non-judgemental advice and help you explore the options available.

No one should feel they have to face financial difficulties alone.

The Citizens Advice service in Lyme Regis operates on an appointment only basis, on Wednesdays 10am to 3pm, at the Lyme Regis Town Council offices.

To book an appointment, please telephone: 01308 456594

🎉📽️🍿 Cinema on the Beach - Rescheduled! 🍿📽️🎉

Our next big community event of the year is coming soon...

Prepare for singalong favourites and showstopping scenes on the seafront as open-air cinema returns to Lyme Regis this summer.

The event was scheduled to take place on Saturday 2 May but due to bad weather, it was cancelled and will now take place on Saturday 18 July.

Starting at 7pm, the LED big screen will take centre stage on the sandy beach.

This year we will be screening 'The Greatest Showman', inspired by the story of showman and entertainer PT Barnum, it is known for its uplifting soundtrack, colourful performances and feel-good energy, making it a perfect choice for families to enjoy.

Audiences are encouraged to bring along blankets and an evening picnic, settle in on the sand, and enjoy the show.

Lyme Rocks will be serving up sweet treats in true cinema style and keep your eyes peeled for ice creams from Baboo's old fashioned usherette trays.

We can't wait to see you there!
