Come and help Happisburgh volunteers celebrate the 200th anniversary of the RNLI

Come and join the team in an afternoon of fun, information and history. You can also visit the new Visitors Experience telling the history of the station since the earliest records in 1810.

There will be lots to do: food, drinks and games, plus the opportunity to meet the volunteers consisting of boat crew, shore crew, shop volunteers, water safety, fundraisers, lifeguards and station officials who all make the station operate to save lives at sea.

Everyone at the station invites you to: 'Come and join us; we are all looking forward to meeting you.'
