3rd – 4th August 2019
The Lyme Splash Water Polo Sea Championship is due to take place this weekend. In the space of just a few years it has become established as the largest and only championship of its kind in the UK. Situated just a few miles from
Newlands Holidays, the event provides a perfect excuse to pay a visit to nearby Lyme Regis. The matches take place near Victoria pier with good viewing points from The Cobb.
Lyme Splash runs over both days of the weekend with a presentation and BBQ at The Power Boat Club on Saturday evening. The event is run entirely by volunteers, who are passionate about the local area and coastline.
