Broughty Ferry RNLI's Boatshed Bricks exhibition is back!
The Boatshed Bricks exhibition is returning to Broughty Ferry RNLI from Sunday 30 June until Friday 12 July.
The exhibition displays models built with Lego and other materials, including replicas of the lifeboat station and more. It is supported by generous donations of preloved bricks from the local community and local artist, Steve Page.
This is the second year of the exhibition, with Steve launching the exhibition to raise money and awareness for the RNLI in the charity’s 200th year.
Entry is £3 donation to the RNLI and all funds raised will support the lifesaving activities on our shores. The exhibition begins on Sunday 30 June and runs until Friday 12 July. It will be open 11am-3pm daily.
Pete Hay, Coxswain at Broughty Ferry RNLI, says: ‘Everyone is welcome to visit the exhibition at the lifeboat station. Visitors are invited to come inside, perhaps meet some of our volunteers and view the collection of models built specifically for this exhibition.’
