Fowey RNLI

The event, to be held on Fowey Town Quay from 5pm till 10pm, will feature lifeboat tours, a lifeboat dedication ceremony, live music, food and refreshments. At 7.45pm, Joey the Lips will be playing live on Town Quay with their 10-Piece Hi-energy Soul, Funk, Blues and Motown sound.

Fowey Lifeboat Press Officer, Cathy Baillie said: ‘The event finale will be a firework display at 9.45pm. The fireworks will be set off from a barge in Fowey Harbour, so that people on both sides of the river, in Fowey and Polruan can enjoy them. We are delighted that Horizon Architectural Glazing has agreed to sponsor the fireworks and are very grateful for their involvement in our celebration of 200 years of the RNLI, the charity that saves lives at sea.

Horizon Sales Manager, Aiden Libby, said: ‘We are delighted to be able to support the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the RNLI and the 165th birthday of Fowey Lifeboats. The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea, and as an organisation relies on volunteers giving their time and energy and charitable donations to train and equip volunteer lifeboat crews. I hope everyone will come along and help mark the occasion – I will certainly be there with my family.’
