Hunstanton RNLI Christmas Carol Service

A towering Norfolk church will be filled with song for the charity that saves lives at sea

Hunstanton Concert Band will be at the helm for a special evening of festive favourites at the 14th Century church.

Crew members from the lifeboat station on nearby Sea Lane will also be taking part in the service, which comes as the RNLI's 200th anniversary year draws to a close.

Along with the bicentenary of the charity that saves lives at sea, 2024 also marked the 200th anniversary of the founding of a lifeboat service at Hunstanton.

And just like their forbears who took to sea in wooden rowing boats wearing oilskins and cork life jackets, today's volunteers are on call 24/7, 365 days a year - including Christmas Day.

Station visits officer and water safety lead Kate Craven said - 'Christmas is a special time.

'But rescues continue to happen throughout the festive season, which like our work throughout the year are only made possible by our supporters.

'The service brings everyone together to celebrate their kindness, which we're so grateful for.

'This year's event comes after a very special year for us in many ways, so we hope people will join us to celebrate in song.'

Price: Admission to the event is free. There will be a retiring collection for the RNLI.

Location: St Mary's Church, Old Hunstanton, Norfolk, PE36 6JS
