Get ready for an evening of rousing sea shanties and authentic Cornish folk songs at this special joint fundraiser bringing together two of Cornwall's beloved cultural institutions. The historic Wheal Martyn Clay Works provides the perfect atmospheric backdrop, with its industrial heritage echoing the working songs that will fill the air.

Talented shanty artists, many of whom will grace the stage at October's Mevagissey Shanty Festival, deliver performances that capture the spirit of Cornwall's maritime heritage. These aren't just songs – they're stories of the sea, sung with the passion and camaraderie that makes shanty singing so compelling.

Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start, with the bar flowing and optional pre-ordered pasties available. At £14 per person (under 12s free), it's an affordable evening supporting both the Mevagissey Shanty Festival and Wheal Martyn Trust, ensuring Cornwall's cultural traditions continue to thrive.
