Berwick-upon-Tweed RNLI Fete Day

This year, 2024, marks 200 years since the foundation of the RNLI, which is a remarkable milestone.


At the lifeboat station there will be the opportunity to meet the crew who volunteer to save lives at sea, 365-days-a-year, no matter the weather.


The RNLI's mascot Stormy Stan will be the special guest and people can have their photograph taken with him.


The Lifeboat Fundraising Committee has been busy so there will be lots of stalls and activities.

The event promises to be a fun packed family day out with demonstrations from Berwick-upon Tweed crew on the D class lifeboat and the Atlantic 85 lifeboat, along with (depending on operational requirements), visiting lifeboat station crew from Eyemouth and Seahouses on their Shannon class lifeboats.

For further updates, please follow RNLI Berwick-upon-Tweed Facebook page.
