Teas & Talks – History of the Parks & Gardens of Melcombe Regis

Monday, March 13, 2023

Graham Perry, Chair of the Friends of Weymouth Museum, will present a history of the development of the parks and gardens of Melcombe Regis.  The story starts around 1800 and covers the area from Alexandra Gardens to Lodmoor including, of course, ‘the Park’ that never was.

The talk will be held in Hope United Reformed Church at 8 Trinity Street.  Tea & biscuits will be served from 2pm and the talk will begin at 2.30pm.

Tickets will be available on the door and are £2.00 for members of the Friends and £3.00 for visitors. (Exact change would be appreciated, if possible).
