Tour of lifeboat station
As well as enjoying a special reading of the book, the children will also be shown around the lifeboat station, including seeing the station’s lifeboat.
The Big Christmas Rescue children’s book can be personalised to put young readers at the centre of a magical festive story.
The story is set on a wet and windy Christmas Eve night when most children are tucked up in bed. But when Santa crashes his sleigh in the sea, volunteer RNLI lifeboat crew members go to the rescue.

All profits from book sales will be used to fund the charity’s lifesaving services, delivered by volunteer lifeboat crews and lifeguards who between them rescued 10,496 people last year.
