Ahoy there! You're invited to join the plentiful crew, the 'Old Time Sailors' for a family friendly night of foot stomping, dancing and singing!
Drop your anchor at our port while this incredible band of accomplished musicians, singers and performers blow you away!
Sing and dance along like a drunken sailor as they perform centuries-old folk and shanty songs that take you back to a time of clashing tankards and nautical tomfoolery.
The Old Time Sailors perform at top venues across the festival circuit including Glastonbury and Deva Fest ...and even on the Cutty Sark!
We can't wait for them to play in the grounds of our historic dock.
