The event was free to attend and the impressive £8,953 raised during the day helps support the RNLI’s lifesaving work. This year’s Open Day featured many of the favourites that regular visitors have come to enjoy, including stalls selling cakes and refreshments, a tombola, raffle and entertainment throughout the day.
An RNLI spokesperson said: “A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such a wonderful event. From the live music, cakes, burgers and ice creams to the many fantastic stalls and displays, it was great to see so many people enjoying the event and thankfully the rain stayed away!
“We’d also like to thank the organisations, volunteers and supporters who helped make the event possible. We simply couldn’t do it without your support.
“Special mention to Biffa who donated a full RNLI All-weather crew kit to Mikey Ellison and also Country Style Foods for another suite for James Mather, your support is very much appreciated.
“The results of the Grand Draw will be displayed in the RNLI shop window. Thank you for supporting your local RNLI Lifeboat station.”
