THANK YOU
Thank you all so much for creating such a wonderful and successful weekend, your support is invaluable and much appreciated.
Our dates next year are 17th to 19th October 2025.
This is a week later than usual due to high Spring tides that mean the Jetty Marquee would be flooded.
We are looking forward to seeing you again next year.

About The Festival
Founded in 2019 by Tristan Netherton of the Stuns’ls Shanty Group the Mevagissey Shanty Festival is a joyful celebration of maritime shanty singing and local heritage.
The Festival helps to boost off-peak commerce and community spirit, and, to date, has raised over £10,000 for local causes.
Now in its sixth year, the festival, supported by Keltek Brewery and the Mevagissey Harbour Board, features 440 singers and helps promote sustainability through education and community involvement.

PRINCIPAL SPONSOR
Founded in 1997 Keltek, the award winning Cornish brewery from Redruth returns as our principal sponsor for the 2024 Mevagissey Shanty Festival.
Keltek, meaning ‘Celtic’ in the Cornish language – the name ascribed to the ancient tribes that once inhabited Cornwall – was chosen as the brewery’s name by founder Stuart Heath.
With 6 pubs of its own, many more stockists right across Cornwall and a thriving online business Keltek remains a family owned brewery that adheres to the age old traditions of brewing by hand with care and craftsmanship using the finest whole hop flowers, British malts and hand-pitched yeast.
We’re grateful for their ongoing support and look forward to welcoming Keltek Cornish Brewery once again to the main marquee.
