Harwich International Shanty Festival 13-15th October 2023

Our Programme for the 2023 Festival is packed with a wide variety of exciting maritime events. We have a fantastic line up of Artists, with concerts large and small; there are pubs and clubs, boats and trains, a Napoleonic Fort, a Victorian Pier, Edwardian Cinema and Georgian Church in which to enjoy the entertainment.

Many of the events are free of charge and as many as possible are accessible to all. Our aim, as usual, is to fill the old town of Harwich with song, music and entertainment. And all with a nautical flavour befitting its maritime heritage.
