Meva Shanty Festival at Mevagissey Harbour
Mevagissey Harbour Wall makes a fitting backdrop for a shanty festival — a working port that has heard sailors' songs for centuries. Expect voices raised together in the old seafaring tradition, with the sights and sounds of the harbour adding to the atmosphere. Whether you know every word or are hearing these songs for the first time, the communal spirit of a shanty gathering tends to draw people in. A fine excuse to spend an October evening by the sea in one of Cornwall's most characterful villages.
