Sea Shanty Festival

Friday 13th June until Sunday 15th June

Falmouth Sea Shanty Festival is back! And we’re going to be celebrating the best way we know how, right here on the quay! We’re proud to share that The Greenbank is once again an official venue of this local festival. There will be amazing performers joining us each day on our very own stage. So, moor up, enjoy your favourite pub grub and sink a few brews, while listening to some toe-tapping to the shanties.

Dragon Boat Race

Saturday 26th July

Setting off from our pontoons, watch the brightly coloured boats race up and down from The Greenbank shoreline with a pint in hand. In 2024, we partnered with Man Down, with 10% of all proceeds generated from our food and drink sales during the day donated to this amazing local charity.

At this free event, you can expect to enjoy a thrilling day of Dragon Boat racing, with teams competing throughout the day to take home the winning title. Spectator, winner or loser, there’ll be lots on offer.

If you’re interested in signing up to the racing, please contact chrisdodimead@dragonboatevents.com. 

Entry is £23.50 per person based on 17 rowers – if you wish to purchase entry for a team it is £399 for as many rowers as you like, but please note up to 17 people can row at per race.

Falmouth Week

Friday 8th August until Sunday 16th August

Don’t miss Falmouth Week this upcoming August. We’ll be celebrating with exciting events on our very own private quay as well as hosting live music. Expect to get your dancing shoes on to performances from Falmouth Soul Sensation and others still to be announced. We’ll also be hosting and supporting the fantastic Pink Wig pre-party, where a sea of pink ladies will grace our quay and raise money for breast cancer.
