Join Cromer RNLI for their Charity Ball and help save lives at sea
Volunteers from Cromer RNLI are busy with final preparations for their charity ball. The lifesaving event will take place on Saturday 9 November 2024 from 6pm at the Cliftonville Hotel in the town.
It will celebrate the vital work of the lifeboat station’s volunteers and will raise funds to help the charity to continue saving lives at sea.

This will be followed by a raffle and auction with prizes including vouchers for meals at local cafes and restaurants, tickets to local attractions such as the Cromer Pier show and experiences such as paddle board lessons.
The evening will conclude with music and dancing.
