One of the town's biggest summer attractions, Lifeboat Week is a whole week of fun, games, entertainment music and displays for all the family to enjoy. All the old favourites are in the week’s attractions: the bath tub race, swimming challenges, a crab fishing competition, teddy bears' picnic and the hugely popular water or wine lucky dip. The highlight of the week will be an aerobatic display by vintage aircraft over two days featuring two aircraft from the Navy Wings collection based at the Royal Naval Air Station in Yeovilton. The vintage Harvard and Chipmunk aircraft will be performing on Wednesday and Thursday during the week.

A full printed programme detailing all the events is available to buy from the lifeboat station and from a number of outlets in town.
