Lyme Regis Christmas Light Switch On
It’s that special time of year when Lyme really starts to twinkle. Spirits are expected to be high as Lyme Regis begins its countdown to Christmas with the big switch on of the town’s Christmas lights. The lighting up of Lyme never fails to draw crowds and gasps of wonder from onlookers soaking up the magical seasonal atmosphere. This year Santa will again be arriving on his sleigh to switch on the lights.
