Singing on the High Seas

Join Wendy Grose for a lively sea shanty singing workshop and discover the joy of raising your voice with others.

Learn traditional songs of the sea, complete with plenty of verses, rhythm and maritime spirit. No singing experience is necessary, just a willingness to join in and have some fun.

Following the workshop, participants will head to the PW1 apron for a short but hearty performance on and amongst the Tall Ships, sharing their newly learned songs with the Festival audience.

All ages and abilities are welcome.
