The Venue

Sunderland Volunteer Life Brigade (SVLB) was founded in March 1877 to carry out Breeches Buoy rescues. Today, SVLB is a Coastal Search and Cliff Rescue unit on call 24 hours a day, each day of the year. The history of the SVLB is contained in The Watch House, where you can uncover the stories of life-saving on the coast of Sunderland since the Brigade began.

Limited opening applies, call for more information.
