Scenes from last year’s Littlehampton Waterfront Festival and Littlehampton RNLI Lifeboat Station open day

Littlehampton Harbour celebrates all things nautical at the annual Littlehampton Waterfront Festival and when this year’s event was cancelled, we started looking back at the wonderful scenes from the 2019 event. The aim of the festival is to showcase the different activities that take place on the River Arun, including dinghy sailing, yachts, powerboats, plus the RNLI lifeboats.

Littlehampton RNLI Lifeboat Station held its open day the same day, to coincide with the festival, and welcomed visitors including Shoreham Harbour RNLI’s all-weather lifeboat Enid Collett. Nick White, lifeboat operations manager, said: “Our open day is always great fun. We are in the heart of Littlehampton and our volunteer crew are part of the community. We’re a charity for the community, so it is always very enjoyable to meet everyone and explain more about how we save lives at sea.”
