The annual RNLI Open Day will once again take place on Sunday August 20 at Llandudno Lifeboat Station between 11am and 4pm.

The event, which is free of charge, is hosted by the volunteers of Llandudno RNLI Lifeboat. They will be on hand during the day to talk to members of the public about their lifesaving work and to show them the lifeboats up close.

Later in the afternoon between 2pm and 3pm there will be a launch and full demonstration by both the Shannon and D Class lifeboats to show the impressive capabilities of our lifesaving vessels on the water.

Lifeboat Press Officer Jonathan Coe is looking forward to the event. "We are very pleased to once again welcome our supporters to our annual event, it is a great opportunity for the public to gain an invaluable insight into our operational life by meeting crew and volunteers as well as talking to members of the HM Coastguard Team."

 A popup RNLI shop will be available on the day for some lifeboat souvenirs and there will also be a bric a brac stall, a raffle, activities organised by crew members, refreshments and last but not least a chance to meet Stormy Stan!
