Raising funds for the RNLI
The art installation has now finished. Thank you to Bruce Munro, all the supporters, sponsors and volunteers who made this possible.
The Field of Light is now an amazing memory !
Whilst we finally said goodbye to the Field of Light on 5th May 2025, the memory will stay alive for months to come on our dedications page.
The light installation was donated by the artist Bruce Munro to raise funds for the RNLI.
You can make cash or contactless donations at the Lifeboat Station in Union Street, or cash donations at The Kings Arms on Whitestrand in Salcombe.
Thank You.

Glenn was pulled from the sea by RNLI Crew on Father’s Day 2022.
Without our Lifeboat Crew this picture would never have been taken on Father’s Day in 2023.
The Field of Light 200 was situated in Salcombe.
The art installation featured an array of 20,000 lowlight, fibre-optic stemmed lights that illuminated the with a slow, subtle change of hue.
