Teignmouth RNLI Lifeboat Station Open Days

The volunteer lifeboat crew, fundraising team and Community Safety team were at the station on Saturday and Sunday giving the public the opportunity to get up close to the Two Annes lifeboat and to find out more about sea safety.

On Sunday morning an air and sea demonstration took place and the Teignmouth crew were joined by the Torbay RNLI lifeboat and a UK Coastguard helicopter from Wales.

The fundraising team had a variety of stalls on Sunday including handmade crafts, children's games, jewellery and collectables, as well as refreshments and home made cakes.
