Raising funds for Lifeboats
Salcombe Field of Light has been donated to the RNLI and our community by the world renowned artist Bruce Munro to raise funds for RNLI Lifeboats and equip our volunteer crews. In the RNLI’s 200th year we will welcome guests free of charge to view the Field of Light from viewing points along the whole of Salcombe Harbour front.

The Field of Light spans over 35,000 square metres of steep Devon hillside opposite Salcombe town, on the edge of the estuary.
The art installation will feature an array of 20,000 lowlight, fibre-optic stemmed spheres that will illuminate with a slow, subtle change of hue.
