On Saturday 28 & Sunday 29 May get water-wise with the RNLI as they take over National Maritime Museum Cornwall for a Water Safety Weekend.
With demonstrations and games, learn the techniques that can help keep you safe in the water and discover more about the RNLI’s important work. Meet and talk with real RNLI lifeguards, uncover the history behind the charity and climb aboard lifesaving vehicles in the RNLI Rescue Zone.
Use your crafting skills in Make & Take to create RNLI donation boxes and RNLI characters.
Search the Museum far and wide to complete the RNLI trail. Keep those eyes peeled!
15 galleries over five floors, jump aboard boats, 100-foot Lookout Tower, Boatbuilding Workshop, underwater Tidal Zone, ocean adventure and survival stories and so much more!

What mini monsters and curios creatures will you find with The Rock Pool Project in their mobile rock pool? Each day there’ll be a chance to learn and uncover more about the sea life in our Cornish waters including the best ways to explore rock pools and identify the creatures you discover.
