Hull's International Sea Shanty Festival includes music, maritime craft demonstrations, dancing the hornpipe and the North Sea Classic Boat Regatta.

The Hull Marina springs to life with sea songs amid the splendour of traditionally rigged sailing vessels - including many traditional barges and sailing craft. In the Crafts Marquee, maritime experts are on hand to demonstrate the skilled arts of coracle making, ropecraft, ship bottling and woodcarving.

There's maritime mayhem in the boatshed on the west side of the marina, with games, nautical puzzles, badge making, tattoo painting, a bouncy castle and street entertainment for children.
