What a great day for the Falmouth Sea Shanty festival xx

⚓🎶 FALMOUTH INTERNATIONAL SEA SHANTY FESTIVAL WEATHER & WEEKEND OUTLOOK 🎶⚓

Powered by Cornwall Flooring & Home Co don't forget to give them a follow.

Good evening everyone,

The Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival returns this weekend, bringing thousands of visitors, dozens of performers and plenty of maritime atmosphere to Cornwall's historic harbour town.

Many people may not realise that the event has a strong connection with the Falmouth Classics Regatta. Falmouth Classics has been held on the waters around Falmouth since 1987, celebrating traditional and classic vessels. In 2013, it was relaunched as the three-day Falmouth Classics Regatta to coincide with the Sea Shanty Festival, creating a fantastic combination of historic boats, maritime heritage, music and community spirit. The sight of beautifully restored vessels in the harbour accompanied by the sound of sea shanties drifting across the waterfront creates one of Cornwall's most unique and memorable weekends.

As for the weather, it looks like organisers, performers and visitors have been handed a pretty decent forecast.

Saturday is expected to bring a good mixture of sunshine and cloud throughout the day, with plenty of bright spells and even some lovely blue skies making an appearance. There is a very small chance of an isolated shower, but for most of the day, conditions should remain dry and pleasant.

Temperatures on Saturday will start around 14°C to 17°C by lunchtime, rising to 16°C to 20°C during the afternoon before easing back to 13°C to 16°C during the evening. If you're staying for the evening performances along the waterfront, you may want to pack a light jacket as it will feel noticeably cooler after sunset.

Sunday is looking equally pleasant, with more sunshine and variable cloud cover. Again, there is a slight chance of a passing shower, but most places should remain dry with some excellent opportunities to enjoy the harbour, music and festivities under bright skies.

Temperatures on Sunday will begin around 10°C to 16°C, climbing to 17°C to 20°C during the afternoon, before settling back to 14°C to 16°C through the evening.

A couple of things to keep in mind if you're heading out for the day. UV levels will be HIGH, meaning sunburn can occur surprisingly quickly despite the occasional cloud cover. Pollen levels are also expected to be HIGH, so hay fever sufferers may want to come prepared.

Overall, it looks like a very enjoyable weekend for one of Cornwall's most famous maritime festivals. Whether you're listening to traditional sea shanties, admiring the classic boats, exploring the town or simply enjoying a Cornish pasty by the harbour, the weather should play its part nicely.

Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy the festival!

Kind regards
KWT Dave ⚓

Loving this post sharing information about midsummer bonfires traditions. Kit hill is out closest so looking forward to this. Thank you for sharing

What Are the Midsummer Bonfires?

Tansys Golowan has been part of Cornwall’s cultural heartbeat for centuries. Each year, Old Cornwall Societies rekindle the Midsummer Bonfires on hilltops across the Duchy, echoing ancient customs of community, protection, and celebration.

These fires once marked the turning of the year, the height of summer, and the strength of community bonds. Today, they continue as a living tradition — passed from generation to generation, keeping Cornish identity burning bright.

Here is your full list of Tansys Golowan:-

How brilliant is this? 🤩

We absolutely loved seeing this post from Dreckly Boys🎸😂

Their musical director Jamie recently visited us at Cornish Kilts to get his Cornish tartan kilt sorted ready for upcoming performances — and what a brilliant use of Cornish tartan it is!

Jamie is creating his kilt in the style of a Great Kilt, also known as a Fèileadh Mòr or belted plaid. This is an older, traditional style where a large length of tartan fabric is pleated by hand, belted at the waist, and then worn with the extra fabric draped over the body. It’s a much more dramatic, historic-inspired style than the modern tailored kilt most people recognise today.

We love seeing Cornish tartan used in different and creative ways — especially when it’s heading out on stage with a brilliant local group like The Dreckly Boys.

As for the matching boxers… we couldn’t possibly comment 👀😂

Thank you for visiting us, Jamie, and thank you to The Dreckly Boys for the laugh and the lovely mention.

🚗💛 The famous Cornish Tartan car! 💛🚗

Of course, when we spotted the incredible Cornish Tartan car at the Royal Cornwall Show, we had to pop over to the Hawkins Motors stand for a photo!

And even better… the lovely young salesman just so happens to be a very good customer of ours too — looking fantastic in his Cornish tartan outfit, if we do say so ourselves! 😄

The car was commissioned by Hawkins Motors and brought to life by That Tint Guy Cornwall — and honestly, it looks amazing. A proper showstopper! 👏

They are also running a fantastic competition in conjunction with The Cornwall Hotel & Spa, where you could win a weekend staycation and drive the tartan car around for the weekend. How brilliant is that? 😍

We’ve added the competition image if you’d like to enter — but whoever wins, we definitely want a picture please! 📸

A huge well done to everyone involved. We absolutely love seeing Cornish tartan being celebrated in such a fun and creative way. One and All! 🖤💛

🏉 One and All at Twickenham! 🖤💛

A huge thank you to Peter Hancock, who bought his Cornish National kilt from us at The Royal Cornwall Show and was kind enough to share these fantastic photos of himself wearing it at Twickenham on Saturday.

What a day for Cornwall rugby! Cornwall beat Lancashire 39–24 to win the County Championship final, lifting the Bill Beaumont Cup for the first time since 2022. Cornwall’s women’s side also made history with a Twickenham victory of their own — an incredible day for the black and gold. 🖤💛

Peter, you look brilliant — the kilt, the St Piran flag, the Cornwall shirt… absolutely perfect for such a proud Cornish occasion. Thank you so much for sharing your photos with us. 🙌
