RNLI Celebratory Weekend & Family fun weekend
Join us for a weekend of celebrations as we commemorate two milestones in Poole. This year, the RNLI College turns 21 and the volunteers at Poole Lifeboat Station are celebrating 160 years of saving lives. Taking place across two days, come and be a part of the party.
On the Saturday 9 August, the party is at the College. Come down for a day of fun. There’ll be live music, food and drink, circus workshops and face painting. You can even meet our mascot Stormy Stan! There’s also behind-the-scenes tours of the College facilities, so you can see where RNLI lifesavers get trained.
On Sunday 10 August, it’s time to celebrate Poole Lifeboat Station. Head down to the floating boathouse on the quay where you can meet the crew and see the lifeboats up close. Learn some vital skills from the water safety team, and then grab yourself a souvenir and something to eat or drink from the stalls. Then, take your place on the quay for some exciting lifeboat demonstrations.
Why not make a trip of your visit by staying at the College for the weekend? From your comfortable double or family room, you’ll be right at the heart of the action.
Book a room at the RNLI College Hotel today.
Take in the sunset over the harbour, then enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep and a delicious buffet breakfast, ready for the day ahead.
