Bristol Shanty Shout 2026
September 20 @ 11:00 am – 5:00 pm
We’re looking forward to performing at the Bristol Shanty Shout 2026. As always, all proceeds will go to local charities.
Exact details about venue and timing still to be confirmed, so check back here nearer the date.
Bristol has an incredible maritime history, and there is no better way to experience it than through the traditional sea shanties that once echoed across our harbourside. Along two nautical miles of the floating harbour, you’ll find a wonderful atmosphere filled with historic pubs and world-class places to eat.
For the last six years, we have come together in this setting to celebrate our seafaring heritage through song. Bristol is home to an exceptional amount of salty singing talent, and this September, we’ll be joined by some of the finest shanty crews, groups, and choirs from across the country.
This year’s festival features performances over two days across two iconic locations:
The SS Great Britain: Performances will take place in the historic Great Eastern Hall
Underfall Yard: Hosting two stages with a variety of maritime acts.
