One of the biggest maritime music festivals in Europe, the Falmouth Sea Shanty Festival returns again for 2023, following a massively successful rendition of the annual festival in June 2022 (which itself returned after only taking place virtually in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19).
Sea shanties are songs sung by sailors, for merriment. They often tell stories of endeavours at sea and tend to be accompanied but a drink or two of rum! Sea Shanty choirs from all over Europe will sing their songs.
