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. This year, we’re partnering with Mylor Sailability with 10% of all proceeds generated from our food and drink sales during the day donated to this amazing local charity. We will be serving bacon baps in the morning, and rustling up our famous dirty fries all day.

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 £26.50 per person or £450 for the whole team, but please note, only up to 17 people can row per race.  Find out more about our 2025 event and download the team manual here.  

Falmouth Week

Friday 8th August until Sunday 17th 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 with a performance from popular local band, Falmouth Soul Sensation.

Friday 8th – Pink Wig Mermaid March

The tide has turned – Falmouth’s much-loved Pink Wig Parade is sailing ahead once more, now with a new ‘Mermaid March’ theme! Starting at The Greenbank at 5pm, this incredible event will raise vital funds and awareness for The Mermaid Centre, the leading breast cancer diagnosis and treatment facility at Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro.

We will be donating 10% of all drink sales from the day as well as 50% of all Pink Wig cocktail sales to The Mermaid Centre.

Friday 15th – Live music from Falmouth Soul Sensation
