Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival

Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival

When: Friday 12 to Sunday 14 June 2026

Where: Various venues across Falmouth

One of the largest free nautical music festivals in Europe, with shanty groups performing across Falmouth's pubs, quaysides and outdoor stages. Falmouth's harbour, gardens and beaches are open to wander between performances, and Falmouth Classics, a regatta of classic sailing boats, runs alongside on the same weekend. Around two hours from West Kellow Yurts by road, so a longer day or an overnight if you can.
