Quayside Shanty Festival 2025

Exeter’s Quayside Shanty Festival will return on Saturday 13 September. *

Expect another fantastic day and evening of folk songs of the sea, performed by some colourful characters and suitable for all the family.

We can’t wait to see you there for more seafarin’ shenanigans on and around Exeter’s Heritage Harbour.

* Please note, this event was advertised as taking place in July, but after discussion with local traders and after exploring the availability of shanty bands, we have taken the decision to move this year’s Quayside Shanty Festival to 13 September.
