We’re excited to announce that once again The Working Boat is an official venue and headline sponsor for the Falmouth Sea Shanty Festival this June. Whether you’re an avid sea shanty fan or just enjoy great food, Cornish beer and a buzzing atmosphere, you won’t want to be anywhere else during the weekend of 14th-16th June.

About The Sea Shanty Festival

Falmouth is steeped in nautical heritage and sea shanties are a significant part of Cornish culture and identity. Groups travel from all corners of the world to be a part of one of the biggest maritime concerts in Europe. Our pretty seaside town transforms into a hub of festivities and song, with everyone in high spirits.

Throughout the weekend The Working Boat will be serving delicious dirty fries piled with toppings (think crispy squid, hickory pulled pork, truffle and parmesan) to line your stomach before getting in on the action. We’ll also be serving a range of Cornish ales, beers and other beverages. Wash it all down with our selection of refreshing Cornish beers from the bar whilst you tap your toes along to the shanty singers.

What’s more, on the Sunday our famous roast will be served as usual. With the hustle and bustle of the festival going on outside, booking is essential to bag yourself a table.

Check out all the live acts who’ll be preforming in our marquee on the quay over the weekend…
