THANK YOU!

THE 2025 FESTIVAL WAS ANOTHER HUGE SUCCESS!

 

Bristol's Annual Real Ale & Sea Shanty Festival was be held on the 10th & 11th May 2025 at the historic Freemason Hall, on Park street.

Over the weekend, we hosted the top Shanty Crews from across the west country, performing in different rooms across the iconic venue.

Over 20 real ales and ciders were hand picked by Sam Gregory of The Bank Tavern.

 

Thank you to all the shanty crews, the volunteers who donated their time, the breweries who donated beer, and everybody who supported the event.

All proceeds will be donated to various charities, as soon as we have wrung the beer out of our socks and got that shanty tune out of our heads.
