The RNLI is the official charity of this year’s Hillsborough International Oyster Festival.

Seafood lovers will gather in the Co Down town to chow down on a slippery supper, watch the World Oyster Eating Championship and enjoy the live music and festival atmosphere.

Money raised will go towards training lifeboat crews in Northern Ireland.

The festival runs from 1–4 September. Visit hillsboroughoysterfestival.com to see the full programme of events.
