Festival

Free day of sea shanties and folk music along Exeter's historic Quayside.

A day-into-evening celebration of sea songs on Exeter's historic waterfront, where local shanty crews and touring folk acts trade sets along the quay. It's an entirely free, drop-in event, so the crowd is as much dog-walkers and passers-by as dedicated folk fans, and the setting among the old warehouses gives it a genuinely maritime feel rather than a staged festival atmosphere.

Listing via Visit Exeter. Always check times and prices with the organiser before travelling.
