Meva Shanty Festival Banner with 2025 dates

Welcome to Mevagissey Shanty Festival

We are very much looking forward to welcoming old friends and new to our annual shanty festival in the heart of Mevagissey, Cornwall.

This year we have a record 85 groups performing, 18 venues and over 300 performances and workshops over 3 glorious days.

Our main sponsor this year is Keltek Brewery and we are thankful for sponsorship from other local businesses. Without these generous businesses we wouldn’t be able to put on this festival. 

We volunteer our time and energy to put on this festival every year because we love our shanties and we love Mevagissey. We hope you love it too!
