What happens if it’s raining?

We’ll still perform, although in Lytham we’ll be round the corner from the Mussel Tanks at the lifeboat house. In Lytham or St Annes, you’ll still be outside so bring a brolly!

Where do we park?

At St Annes and Lytham there are large car parks just a few yards away from where we’re performing. At time of writing, both are free after 6pm*. Please don’t park in the lifeboat house parking bays. Thanks.

*But please check when you park, in case things change!

What happens if there’s a shout?

A ‘shout’ is an RNLI callout. As we perform at working lifeboat stations, a shout will mean we’ll have to stop the show. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen!

If it happens when you come to see us, don’t worry, we’ll tell you what to do.
