Coombe Street Gallery

33 Coombe Street, Lyme Regis, Dorset DT7 3PP

Tel: 01297 444817

website: www.coombestreetgallery.com

Tucked away in a side street behind Broad Street, Coombe Street Gallery is definitely worth seeking out for its impressive range of artworks, crafts, jewellery and giftware. Owner Chris Wicking is himself an accomplished photographic artist and his scenes of Lyme Regis and around Lyme Bay have a very distinctive quality. His prints are treated by computer to appear like paintings. It's a fascinating process and the end results are very striking indeed.

Also very eye-catching are the various ethical products such as the wall hangings from Rajasthan, crafts from Morocco, some lovely bags from Kenya and jewellery from around the world, including work by local craftspeople.

A good selection of colourful pottery from the Camphill communities, along with wooden toys and games, and an extensive range of gifts with something to suit everyone. Each year, during the first week of October, Lyme Regis has an Open Studio Event. Chris opens his home and gallery for local artists to exhibit their work.
