Formby Set to Celebrate 250 Years Since the World’s First Lifeboat Station. Did you know that Formby is home to one of the most remarkable achievements in maritime history? This June, the village will come together to celebrate an extraordinary milestone – 250 years since the establishment of the world’s first organised lifeboat station right here in Formby. The special weekend-long event, “Formby 250 – Where Lifeboat History Began”, will take place from Friday 26th to Sunday

What a fantastic day it has been at #Formby Live 2026! Hundreds of people descended on Formby today to enjoy everything the event had to offer, with the village absolutely buzzing from morning through to evening. Families enjoyed the funfair attractions, while crowds gathered at Formby Pool to watch the ever-popular Merseycats entertainment. Over at Woodwards Wine Bar, live music created a brilliant atmosphere as visitors soaked up the sunshine and enjoyed a great day out. Th
