Museums at Night Moth Ball ! - Lyme Regis Museum
When: 18 May 2012
Where: Lyme Regis Museum
Lyme Regis Museum is part of Museums at Night, the annual after-hours celebration of the arts, culture and heritage, on Friday May 18. Come along for all or any of the events – everyone welcome free.
6.30pm – Hedge Britannia
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.
No booking required.
Drinks will be served at 7.30pm
8pm – The Museums-at-Night Moth Ball !
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 – he is also the County Moth Recorder. Wear your sequins and sensible shoes – this could go on past midnight!
Make your booking for the Moth Ball to avoid disappointment:
