COVID 19 ANNOUNCEMENT

The situation with the Coronavirus (Covid-19) continues to be a concern for all and we are so disappointed to have to announce that we cannot proceed with physical plans for our Sea Shanty Festival scheduled for 11-13th June 2021.

We did run a successful Virtual Festival in 2020 and plans are underway for another event this year. More to follow.

In the meantime please stay safe and hopefully we can meet up in 2022.

Check out the programme page for 2019's festival schedule!

Another great Shanty Festival in 2019! Check out the video of the action below. Many thanks to Michael Haran Films for compiling it.
