RNLI Explorer Days
Heroic
There has been a lifeboat station at Barry Dock since 1901. Find
out more about the many men and women who have risked their lives
for others since that first shout by viewing our historical display
inside the working boathouse. Enjoy a cup of tea or coffee as you
soak up over a century of local heroism.
Action
Try our hands on action stations that will show you just what
it's like to be a lifeboat crew member. Great for family days
out.
