Meet the Aldeburgh RNLI crew
Dates for your diary: demonstration launches of both Aldeburgh lifeboats for Aldeburgh Carnival and Open day and Street Fair.
On Monday 21 August, Aldeburgh RNLI crew will take part in the annual Aldeburgh Carnival festivities with demonstration launches of their relief all-weather lifeboat (ALB), Keep Fit Association, and Inshore Lifeboat, Susan Scott.
Launch is planned for 11am, but is subject to weather conditions and operational requirements.

Visitors to the lifeboat station can meet the crew, visit both boats, tour the station, learn some of our fascinating history, enjoy the many stalls hosted by the fundraising guild, and take home a delightful souvenir from our ever-popular shop.
Refreshments will be served and those with a sweet tooth are advised to arrive early to enjoy the cake stall – always a popular attraction!
