Sea SShanty Festival
Book NowWelcome to Harwich International Shanty Festival. With the renewal of interest in Shanties and Sea Songs, there has been an increase in the interest in this entertainment style and Harwich now hosts an entire weekend. Over the Festival weekend the whole of the old seaport town of Harwich rang with the sound of lusty shanties, music emanating from pubs, boats, clubs and our many historic buildings. There are street theatre sketches, maritime crafts, pirates, barge trips, walks, talks and workshops on offer and the town fills with colour as visitors soak up the atmosphere created over this special weekend. A programme of events is included in your day.
