RNLI

Debbie and her amazing team of fundraising volunteers from the RNLI.  In the last 4 years alone, we’ve raised over £15,000 at our events. Last year Greasy and the crew of the All Weather Lifeboat joined her onstage to present the raffle, and our local heroes will be joining us again this year!

This year as we have an extra day, we’re hoping to help them raise even more!  Gain entrance to the festival by making a donation of your choice to the RNLI.

We’re also adding more family friendly stalls and activities this year.  Including face painting,  ice cream and doughnut stalls,  hair braiding,  festival glitter, handmade toys and crafts.

Freshly prepared local food & drink
