Bristol Sea Shanty Shout

Free festival in the Great Eastern Hall (opposite the SS Great Britain)

We’re delighted to be partnering with Bristol Shanty Festival once again to bring you 42 sets of nautical numbers from the best shanty bands, choirs and groups in the region.

Performances will begin in the Great Eastern Hall on Brunel Square on Saturday 20 & Sunday 21 September from 12 noon till 6pm, as well as at round the corner with our friends at Underfall Yard! 

There will be a pop-up bar serving drinks and food, for all the energy you need to sing along.

Once you’ve had your fill of amazing shanty music, remember you can visit the SS Great Britain for just £11 from 3.30pm with our special Late Entry tickets. The visitor attraction closes at 5pm, but music will continue in the Great Eastern Hall until 6pm.

Check the festival Facebook Page and festival website for more information including lists of shanty crews performing and full details on how to find all performance locations.

All proceeds from food and drink sales contribute directly to delivering the SS Great Britain Trust’s charitable goals.
