Fancy an unforgettable day out? Stuck for something to do in the holidays that will appeal to the whole family? Look no further... Rescue Day - Britain's biggest Emergency Services display event is with us again, and is bigger and better than ever before! Live displays this year include: RAF 22 Squadron helicopter hoists with the RNLI all weather and inland lifeboat; Coastguard with Exmoor Search & Rescue scaling down the hillside; Massive chip pan fire; Roof getting cut off a car; Drugs/Firearms dog; Handheld flare display; Mountain-Rescue 75th anniversary “Then and Now” enactment; and a motorcycle crash scenario. All the vehicles will be there – squad cars, motorbikes, 4x4’s, ambulances, fire engines. More Emergency and support services taking part than ever before. There will be a Big Screen which will give a good close-up view of the action for all. Cameras are a must! Great value and all for local charity.
* The Rescue Day runs from 10am to 6pm, and the bazaar is open between 9am and 3.30pm.
From the A361 from the Barnstaple direction, drive into Ilfracombe and turn into Fore Street. You then turn left onto Broad Street, quickly followed by a right turn into Heirns Lane. The Rescue Day will take place on the pier.
