Torbay RNLI are inviting all local and visiting RNLI supporters for a day of entertainment and celebration on the grounds of the Old Coastguard House in Brixham’s inner harbour.

A fun family day is planned with food stalls including one where the crew will cook and serve local seasonal fish such as Scallops and Cuttlefish. There will be a licensed bar pavilion and a stage for music with DJ. There will be competitions and face painting as well as other events and surprises arranged over the day and evening.

There will also be live music with Sea Shanty singers, a Ukulele group, folk & country musicians, and popular local bands including Nuthin' But Mammals, playing into the evening and through to 10pm.

The party will kick off at 11am and run throughout the day finishing at 10pm. Entry is free, with small donations welcomed, and the whole Torbay community are invited for what Torbay Lifeboat hope will be a day to remember.
