The Working Boat’s guide to Sea Shanty Festival

Falmouth Sea Shanty Festival is finally back and we’re proud to share that we’re once again a key sponsor and venue of this local festival.
We’re so excited to welcome back an amazing line up, as well as your lovely faces to our mar-quay on the quay. Across the weekend we’ll be embracing a full schedule of singing, so we’ve put together a step-by-step guide to make sure you don’t miss a thing.
Discover The Working Boat’s guide to Falmouth Sea Shanty Festival below…
8AM – 10AM: Tuck into breakfast
Before you get into the swing of things, make sure you fill up with a hearty breakfast. Your day’s going to be packed full of toe tapping and brew sinking, so lining your stomach is a must. Pop down to one of our favourite cafes in Falmouth to grab yourself a coffee and some top-notch brekky. We suggest Good Vibes Café or Stone’s Bakery.
11AM – 5PM: Cool Off
After enjoying a delicious breakfast, start the day off right and head over to Greenbank beach. Lap up the waves at the shoreline or get adventurous and go for a dip. Paddle boarding is also highly encouraged. The weather is bound to be great…with lots of wishful thinking from us. After drying off, plan the rest of your day and who’s on your list to see by checking out the line up here.
Getting peckish? At The Working Boat we have just the thing. Delicious fish and chips and rustic burgers – you’ll definitely be needing the pick-me-up with all the tempting brews on offer for the rest of the evening.
Our friends at Pizza Pls will also be joining us over the weekend, slinging their Neapolitan style pizzas.
5PM – 11PM: It’s starting
The festival has finally started. Dry off from the water by basking in the sunshine, grab a brew and then head to our mar-quay, ready to dance the night away. The line-up will have kicked off by now so ready yourself to burst into well-known shanties and don’t be afraid to have a jig. On the Friday, dance away to the likes of Monkeyfists and the Oggymen, while on the Saturday, enjoy the sea-faring tunes of the Longest Johns. There’s plenty of music to enjoy on the Sunday too – perfect for nursing your weary head after a weekend of brews and views.
10pm– 11pm: And Repeat
It’s time to get some well-deserved rest, ready to repeat it all again the next day!
