This year in what is the RNLI 200th anniversary, the station will be hosting an a full Open Day Weekend on Saturday 20 July 2024 from 11am to 4pm and Sunday 21 July 2024 noon until 4pm at Scarborough RNLI Lifeboat Station.
During these times the station at Foreshore Road will be open to the public and the public will be able to meet the volunteer crew and visits team and have a tour around the station, boats and equipment.
The RNLI will also have their water safety team and swim safe team available for advice. The Lifeboat Guild will be running a raffle and tombola as well as several activities for people to do.
Will Watts, RNLI Scarborough voluntary crew and Community Manager said:
'We are thrilled to bring back our Flag Day celebration this year especially with this being the RNLI 200th Anniversary.
Usually we pack as much as we can into one day, but this year we’re extending it over the weekend, It's a fantastic opportunity to connect with both visitors and locals while raising essential funds for our station.
The RNLI Scarborough team is eager to showcase our work and engage with our supportive community during this special event.'
Flag Day is a key annual community event that supports the lifeboat station's life-saving work. All proceeds from the day will contribute to maintaining the vital search and rescue service and ensuring the safety of coastal communities.
Entrance to Flag Day 2024 is free and no registration is required.
