A wealth of Shanties & Folk Music in Old Leigh Town in Essex – Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th May 2025.
This weekend a score of shanty crews will navigate their way to the atmospheric fishing village of Leigh on Sea to celebrate in the only way they know how – singing songs of the sea.
The event is centred on the Old Leigh Shanty Festival on the historic Strand Wharf.
A collection is taken over the weekend in support of the RNLI Southend, Endeavour Trust Leigh-on-Sea and also Leigh Lions.
