MARKETS
if
browsing around market stalls is your delight then you’ll
find interesting events located in and around the Marine
Theatre where a wide selection of craft and antiques
goods are on offer. Officially Thursday is early closing
in Lyme Regis, although you’ll find this hardly
applies in the season, with some late night opening in
many shops. Market and early closing information for
other towns in the immediate area: |
