The City of Bristol has an incredible maritime history, shown off along two nautical miles of harbourside that just keeps getting better and better.
So much atmosphere and so many places to visit. Amazing things to see, brilliant pubs and truly world class places to eat.
And given that we have more salty singing talent than any other city in the UK as well as the very best sea shanty crews, groups and choirs from counties within a day's sail - well, it's crying out for a maritime music celebration.
The Bristol Sea Shanty Festival is organised by High and Dry with venue support from Brunel’s SS Great Britain and the Underfall Yard.
