If you've never seen the lifeboat launch (or have seen it many times before), pleaser pop along.

We are celebrating 150 years of Swanage Lifeboat Station on the weekend of 13 and 14 September.

On 13 September there is an open day at the lifeboat station from 11am to 4pm, with a short service at 3pm when we will be presented with a certificate commemorating 150 years.

There will be lifeboat launches at 11am and 2pm, a lifeboat demonstration at 2pm and refreshments all day.

On Sunday 14 September there is special service at St Mary’s Church at 10.30am.

All welcome to both events.

We have another exciting opportunity to drive a locomotive on the Swanage Railway and this time it’s at the controls of the sole surviving LSWR T3! 🤩

The 563 Driver Experiences are extra special because participants will get the chance to drive the locomotive both ways along the line from Swanage and all the way back again, with the opportunity to fire the engine if you wish.

The 563 Driver Experience days take place on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of November and would make a wonderful early Christmas present! If you are booking for yourself or a friend/family member then follow the instructions on our website.

These experiences are expected to sell out quickly so don’t delay in securing your spot today! Click here to book now - https://www.swanagerailway.co.uk/events/view/563-driving-expereince

We’re starting something special: The Swanage Community Podcast. It’s a space for stories, voices, and ideas from the people who make this town what it is.

So we’re asking: What matters most to you? Is it the sea air? The sense of belonging? A local issue you care about? A memory that shaped you?

💬 Drop a comment below, share a thought, or just say hello. Your voice could be part of the podcast—and part of something bigger.
