Legacy Lifeboat Kilkeel - Event in Poole 2025

You’ll have an opportunity to view the lifeboat for 15 minutes, and you’ll be on site for a total of 45 minutes. The lifeboat will be out of the water during this time.

You will be able to book tickets from Tuesday 12th August via the Eventbrite website. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis so please don’t delay. We cannot accept bookings via phone or email.

You can book a maximum of four tickets per name added to the boat. All tickets are timed entry. It’s a working site, so there are restrictions on the number of people who can be accommodated at any one time. A ticket limit gives other supporters a fair chance to see the lifeboat.

Yes. Adults and children over 5 need a booked ticket. For health and safety reasons, we need to know how many people are in your group, regardless of their age.

You must book your tickets in advance to attend our special event. Please contact the legacy lifeboat team for any additional ticket availability before the event. Where possible, we will try to accommodate any last-minute tickets on the day but this is not guaranteed - so please book in advance. 

Yes, there is. However, all cancellations will automatically go back onto this ticket page and this page will remain open until midnight, 7th September 2025. After this date if you were not able to secure tickets please email the legacylifeboat@rnli.org.uk inbox to join our wait list.

Only assistance dogs are permitted to this event. Anyone bringing a dog will not be permitted into the College or All-weather Lifeboat Centre. 

Please plan your journey carefully; we have limited availability for carparking on site on the weekend. We suggest looking for alternative public car parking close by or exploring public transport options. 

If you’re planning to stay overnight, we advise you to obtain booked tickets for the event before booking your accommodation. And if you are thinking of staying at the College, please be aware that rooms may be limited due to crew training taking place at weekends.  

Yes. A video is being made and will be uploaded to the Legacy Lifeboat updates page after the event and will also be sent directly to all supporters signed up to our update emails. This will be accessible to all and free to watch. You don’t need to book.

Due to the nature of the Kilkeel Lifeboat station being positioned in a working harbour it won’t be possible to have an event at the station. However, when the Lifeboat isn’t in service it will be on a pontoon which is visible to members of the public.
