Clovelly Lifeboat Weekend

Lifeboat Weekend, Saturday 31 July - Sunday 1 August, held in aid of the R.N.L.I

Keeping Clovelly's lifeboat on alert for emergencies round the clock takes effort and dedication. Held in aid of the RNLI, Clovelly's Lifeboat Weekend is a popular celebration of the lifeboat and her crew.
To get the fun going on Saturday there's a sponsored swim to Bucks Mills and back. Sunday is packed with entertainments, including a hilarious race of men dressed as women, a tug-of-war and, of course, the ever popular slave auction in which young local men are 'sold' to the highest bidder to do their chores for a day. And there are stalls galore.
