There will be lifeboats on display and launching, service calls permitting.

On the harbour, there will be musical entertainment, children’s activities and games, a Tombola, fairground attractions and over 20 craft stalls. Cream Teas will also be available in the Boathouse.

There will be a Grand Raffle, that will be drawn at 3pm. Raffle tickets are on sale now, from the lifeboat shop at Seahouses lifeboat station, the Grace darling Museum at Bamburgh, or from any crew member.

The event promises to be a great day out for all the family, with the additional bonus of supporting the RNLI to help them save lives at sea.

The lifeboat crew will be on hand to meet people and answer questions about their roles.

The team is also hoping that visitors may be encouraged to find out more about joining the volunteer crew or Shore Crew, or perhaps the souvenir shop crew or fundraising crew.
