Sea Shanty Evening

In aid of Felixstowe Lifeboat The walls of Landguard Fort will echo with rousing choruses and salty tales of the sea on Friday 22 August, as the peninsula hosts a special Sea Shanty Evening in support of the Felixstowe Lifeboat. Set within the historic parade ground of this 400‑year‑old coastal fortress, the event brings together shanty groups and local performers for a night of foot‑stomping rhythm, maritime folklore, and good old‑fashioned community spirit. Wet your whistle with something from the bar and expect harmonies that roll like the tide, songs that celebrate the courage of those who work at sea, and plenty of opportunities to join in. With Felixstowe Museum and the Landguard Nature Reserve just steps away, the evening also shines a light on the wider peninsula — a place shaped by the sea and the people who protect those who sail it. All proceeds from the night will go directly to supporting the vital work of the Felixstowe Lifeboat, helping keep our coastline safe year‑round. Bring friends, family, and your best singing voice for an unforgettable summer evening at Landguard Fort — where history, music, and community come together for a brilliant cause.
