The event took place at Filey Lifeboat Station on Coble Landing and provided people with the opportunity to see the lifeboats and ask questions about how the lifeboat station operates.

Filey’s Lifeboat Ladies Guild ran fundraising events throughout the weekend and visitors were entertained by the Stubbies Folk Group and the Dearne Big Band.

Visitors were also able to watch Filey RNLI’s volunteer crew members launch their Atlantic 85 Lifeboat Marjorie Shepherd and the D-Class inshore life boat The Rotarian to give a display of the lifeboats’ capabilities.

The event raised £7000 towards helping RNLI Filey save lives at sea.
