Shanty Fest 2019
This Autumn, Mevagissey will be hosting its first ever Shanty Festival. Performances are being held throughout the 13th century village and fishing port, giving spectators a choice of venues and times to enjoy over 20 shanty groups. Have a drink and a sing-song in intimate settings such as the 15th century Fountain Inn or come along to the main stage and Cornish beer festival in the Mevagissey Activity Centre.
The event takes place on the 18th and 19th of October 2019 and is aimed at extending the holiday season for our village, increasing trade for local businesses, whilst also generating much needed funds to help various village organisations.
