You can download the free ​shanty songbook to start practicing your rousing choruses.

The Station Square will be jumping all weekend long to the music of fantastic bands; bars will be rollicking with shanties; and added to all that there will be workshops to attend on everything from learning about women on the high seas to how to play the ‘bones’! Places are limited for the workshops so booking will be needed.
