Boathouse Opening & Community Fundraising Celebration, Lynmouth
2026-05-10 | The Ancient Mariner, The Ancient Mariner, Lynmouth, EX35 6EL, United Kingdom
Lynmouth Sailing Club warmly invites locals and visitors to join them for the official opening of the new Boathouse in Lynmouth – a community-led project rooted in remembrance, safety, and the enduring spirit of the harbour.
Located on the historic site of the original Lifeboat building, the new Boathouse sits at the heart of Lynmouth and will provide a permanent home for the club’s safety and rescue boat, “Gilbey”, along with secure storage for essential sailing equipment and kit. With construction nearing completion, this marks a major milestone for the club and the wider Lyn Valley community.
A Project with Purpose
The Boathouse and rescue boat are dedicated to the memory of Gilbey Spice, a much-loved local character whose loss in May 2020 was felt deeply across Lynton & Lynmouth. In his memory, Gilbey’s family and friends requested donations towards a lasting community legacy. That generosity raised over £7,000, funding the purchase of the safety and rescue boat that proudly bears his name. Further support from local businesses helped provide the engine, but fundraising continued to ensure the Boathouse could be fully completed, equipped, and maintained.
Supporting Safety on the Water
Lynmouth’s harbour is a vibrant hub for water-based activity, from the much-loved annual raft race and the Lynmouth Regatta & Maritime Festival to rowing, swimming, and sailing groups who regularly take to the water. A core aim of this project is to train local volunteers to crew the boat and provide emergency assistance around the harbour and during community events – a wish close to Gilbey’s family and friends’ hearts.
Celebrating a True Community Spirit
This project reflects the adventurous, generous, and ever-willing spirit of its namesake – a man known for always saying “yes” and for giving his time freely to community causes. The Boathouse stands not only as a practical safety facility, but as a symbol of what a close-knit community can achieve together.
Join the Celebration
Everyone is welcome to attend the official opening on Saturday 10th May. Come along to celebrate the completion of this important project, learn more about the ongoing fundraising efforts, and find out how you can support or get involved.
Donations are still welcome, and the club is always happy to hear from anyone with fundraising ideas or who would like to help in the future.
A community project. A lasting legacy. A fitting tribute.

Exmoor Perambulation 2026
2026-06-20 06:00 - 17:00 | Pinkery Centre Exmoor, Pinkery Exploration Centre, Simonsbath, TA24 7LL, United Kingdom
30 miles of beautiful Exmoor await you when you take on the Exmoor Perambulation.
The Perambulation is Exmoor National Park’s iconic traditional circular long distance walking event dating back over 725 years.
You can also choose a running option too!
On the day you can choose from the 15 mile (half) or 30 mile route. This is a self navigated long distance walking or running event based from the Pinkery Centre in the heart of Exmoor National Park.
One great aspect of this event is that it gets you off the beaten track and crosses some private land that is accessible only with permission of the landowners concerned – so you’ll access parts of the National Park not normally open to the public and places that you wouldn’t usually stumble upon!
You can enter as a team or attempt it solo. You’ll need your navigating skills to be on point as this is a self navigated event over some of Exmoor’s most remote and challenging terrain.

Lynmouth Raft Race 2026
2026-08-29 | The Ancient Mariner, The Ancient Mariner, Lynmouth, EX35 6EL, United Kingdom
If you like your events messy, hilarious, and slightly unpredictable, the Lynmouth Raft Race is not to be missed.
Taking place in August 2026, this legendary event sees teams attempt to race across the harbour on wildly imaginative, home-made rafts – with varying levels of success. Some rafts even make it to the start line… which is all part of the fun.
Expect maximum chaos, enthusiastic crowds, and the traditional barrage of flour bombs flying through the air as competitors battle the elements (and each other). It’s loud, it’s daft, and it’s one of Lynmouth’s most entertaining spectacles.
A firm favourite for both locals and visitors, the Raft Race is a brilliant example of Lynmouth’s playful spirit and love of a good laugh – best enjoyed with old clothes and a strong sense of humour.
