Will you be taking the plunge at the Lyme Lunge and braving the icy sea this afternoon?
The Lyme Lunge returns today with thousands of people expected to descend on the town’s sandy beach to charge into the water.
The Rotary Club of Lyme Regis’ annual event includes participants donning fancy dress and following the club’s president into the sea at 1pm.
This year, the Lyme Lunge is raising money for the Dorset County Hospital chemotherapy appeal and Rotary charities.
For more information and updates of the event, search for Rotary Club of Lyme Regis on Facebook.
But just before the dip, there’s time to catch the New Year’s Day duck race.
The duck race will start at Windsor Terrace at 12noon and finish at Jordan Flats.
Ducks cost £1 and will be on sale outside Higher Mill Flats, Windsor Terrace, from 11.15am.
The first duck wins £50, the second wins £25, the third wins £10 and the last duck wins £5.
All proceeds will go to Lyme Regis Christmas Lights.
