Port Isaac Shanty Festival 2024
The Port Isaac Shanty Festival has become an institution on the north coast, not least because it happens all across the pretty little village of Port Isaac, which is famous for its harbour, its relaxed vibe, its tales of the sea and its, well, Doc Martin
In fact, it’s worth flagging up the success of the Fisherman’s Friends here because these Port Isaac lads, who formed a folk music group and started performing locally in the early ’90s before signing a record deal in 2010 and going stratospheric, put the sea shanty at the front and centre of the village (quite literally, as they used to sing al fresco at the harbourfront).
But this lively Port Isaac sea shanty festival has been carrying on these vocal traditions of late and introducing both locals and visitors to all sorts of new and established shanty acts.

Marine life and the ocean provides such an inspiration to the arts, and we are proud to have hosted many exhibitions from photography to pottery showcasing local talent here at our centre in Padstow.
This March and April it is Kathryn Burgess turn and her incredible ‘Flowmotion Art’ will be on display in our centre from 1st March to the end of April.
Kathryn’s art is created using the generic term of ‘fluid art’, which covers a range of techniques to move liquid acrylic paint across the canvas, rather than a more traditional style of applying paint with a brush.
The exhibition is included with all annual passes
