CALENDAR

The Bristol Sea Shanty Shout 2026

19th – 20th September 2026

Have your eye-patches and hook hands at the ready! We are once again partnering with the High and Dry Shanty Crew for The Bristol Sea Shanty Shout 2026!

Join Underfall Yard and a boatload of sea shanty crews and bands as they take to the stage. Sing along to your favourite shanty tunes with the perfect backdrop of our Victorian-era boatyard. Travel around Bristol’s Floating Harbour and discover other stages with tons of great performances at The Nova Scotia Pub, Bristol Dockyard and MV Balmoral.

Free daytime entry for all on both days, and for all of you superfans, we are hosting a ticketed concert that is sure to have you up on your feet! The concert is now SOLD OUT, but we will have a small number of tickets at the door

While we are all very excited to sing along to our favourite shanty and sailor tunes next week at our Sea Shanty Shout, this wonderful event has a bigger purpose.
 
All donations and ticket sales across the weekend are donated to a range of charities, with 50% of all proceeds going to Somerset Prostate Support Association. It is an organistion who helps individuals suffering from prostate cancer, as well as hosts free testing events for all men several times a year.
 
We invited the chair of SPSA, Peter Hopwood, and the High and Dry Shanty Crew to the Yard for a quick chat about what the charity does, and how this wonderful festival helps raise awareness and save lives throughout the year.
