Teddington RNLI Station Open Day
Sunday 31 May 1pm to 5pm
Join us for an afternoon of family fun at Teddington Lifeboat Station.
Teddington RNLI Open Day will take place on Sunday 31 May from 1pm until 5pm, marking the end of Teddington Lifeboat Week, which starts on 24 May.
Look out for local promotions like a Lifeboat Treasure Hunt in Teddington independent shops, a special family day at The Anglers and special activities in restaurants and pubs.
On the Open Day everyone is invited to visit the lifeboat station to celebrate the week of events and enjoy a day of river-themed fun and activities, including the now-famous, duck race.1600 ducks raced along the Thames at Teddington in 2025 and over £5,000 was raised for the RNLI.
Activities are still being planned, but visitors will be able to:
climb aboard a lifeboat and its tractor
see lifesaving demonstrations by volunteer crew
enjoy food and drink from local outlets such as Shambles, The Anglers and The Wharf, as well as RNLI volunteer-made cakes, tea, coffee and cold drinks
cheer along the Teddington Duck Race supported by Teddington Together, representatives of Teddington independent businesses who put on Teddington Lights Up each year
meet firefighters and see a fire engine
play water safety themed games
get gory with a make up artist.
Put the date in your diary now for a week of RNLI lifeboat activities and then come and meet the volunteer crew, local traders and our neighbours.
