A Poor Man’s Friend – Informative Talk
Hear from a specialist consulting herbalist who will discuss the remarkable story of one of Bridport’s most fascinating characters. Dr Giles Roberts had an intriguing link with West Bay and his role in the local community and medical field is fascinating.
This informative talk is being held in the Salt House, a building next to the Harbour, and tickets are available from Bridport Tourism Information Centre here.
Guests are encouraged to explore the main exhibition held in West Bay Discovery Centre before or afterwards. The free exhibition explores the local connections and brings together the people, places and stories that link Dr Roberts with West Bay.
