COVID 19 ANNOUNCEMENT

We are sorry to have to announce the cancellation of our Sea Shanty Festival planned for 12-14th June 2020. The current situation with the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is a worry for all, and no matter how matters progress in the next month or so we have decided it would not be appropriate to continue with our plans for this year. This is a big disappointment for us but the health and safety of our visitors, from home and overseas and for those involved with the organisation of the Festival is our number one priority.

Again I am sorry that we cannot proceed but in the meantime please be careful and stay safe. Hugh.
