About Coast To Cobbles

Coast To Cobbles is a series of events that bring volunteers and supporters together to celebrate the courage and kindness that has powered our lifesaving in North West England since 1824.

The main five events, which include this one at Lytham St Annes Lifeboat Station, are taking place between 28 September and 12 October 2024 along the route of our special Coast To Cobbles lifeboat and its volunteer crew. They are travelling by sea, river and canal - from Silloth in Cumbria to Salford Quays in Greater Manchester - filling a time capsule with precious RNLI memories along the way.
