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:
