Field of Light 200
You can donate to the Field of Light 200 and dedicate a light in memory of a loved one and support the next generation of RNLI volunteers.
You can visit free in the Salcombe Lifeboat Park (Cross Gardens) and get close up to the beautiful artwork. A totally different experience to the original Field of Light, you can now sit just a few feet from 200 light stems and the fibre optic display.

Tickets are £15 each including a welcome drink and going fast. Available at Salcombe Information Centre, Kingsbridge Information Centre and via email at Salcombe_Fundraising@RNLI.org.uk.
The sun shone on the ‘Salcombe Gin Beach Touch Rugby’ last Thursday. It may be non-contact, but play was as competitive as ever with as many teams as we’ve ever seen. With razor sharp referees for the afternoon, there was never a call for a VAR decision!
The event raised more than £4,000 for Salcombe Lifeboats, and a special thanks must go out to the supporters of the raffle, and our volunteers.
Looking forward to seeing you all again next August when it will be the RNLI 200th Anniversary and a big year in Salcombe.
