FRIDAY 18 MAY
MUSEUMS AT NIGHT
Come to Museums at Night, the annual after-hours celebration of the arts, culture and heritage, at Lyme Regis Museum on Friday 18 May – everyone welcome free.
Hedge Britannia at 6.30pm
Author Hugh Barker talks about his enthusiasm for the hedgerows and hedges that shape our landscape and are among our most ancient monuments. From segregated fields and twisting hedgerows to hedge-laying champions and topiary-tenders – no aspect of the hedge world escapes him.
Free. No booking required.
Drinks at 7.30pm
Refreshments and book signing by Hugh Barker
Museums at Night Moth Ball! at 8pm
What do moths get up to at night? Find out during this evening with Dr Phil Sterling – a talk, followed at dusk by a walk to see the nightlife of the local moth world. We will walk to an area off Charmouth Road, Lyme Regis, to see what species are attracted to our lights, captured, identified then released.
Dr Sterling is Dorset County Council’s natural environment manager and ecologist, also the county moth recorder. He will be assisted by entomologist Alan Kennard and museum zoologist Chris Andrew.
Free. Please make a booking for the Moth Ball to avoid disappointment – numbers are limited: telephone 01297 443370 or email
