Sea Shanties for Sirens and Landlubbers
Whether you’re an experienced siren or you swear up and down you can’t carry a tune, don’t miss this lively session run by Edinburgh Shanty Co! No experience is necessary – come along to learn and sing some sea shanties, both traditional and original.
The event series known as Edinburgh Shanty Night was founded in early 2025 by people who are passionate about communal singing and who have the experience needed to bring people together. In only a few short months, it turned into a popular night out that invites everyone to come along and sing together.
