We’re grateful to our 2026 headline sponsors – Seasalt Cornwall, Sharp’s Brewery and The Greenbank Hotel!

Seasalt Cornwall joined as a main sponsor in 2014. With a Cornish and maritime background, Seasalt falls hand-in-hand with the festivals brand and they have played a large part in the success of Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival over the years. From the quirky reusable cup design, sea shanty merchandise, the main Seasalt performance stage and all round general support for the festival, their sponsorship continues to maintain a stronghold for the event.

Sharp’s Brewery has been brewing world-class beer on the Cornish coast since 1994, and with names like Doom Bar, Atlantic Pale Ale and Sea Fury in their range, it’s hard to imagine a more fitting partner for the Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival. Rooted in the same coastal spirit that makes this festival so special, Sharp’s is brewer of the UK’s number one cask ale, and they know a thing or two about a crowd that appreciates quality. We’re delighted to have them on board.

The Greenbank Hotel came aboard in 2020 as a key sponsor to play a key part in aiding the sustainability element of the weekend, helping to improve recycling and assist with better waste management facilities. Nestled on Falmouth’s historic harbour, The Greenbank blends the best of coastal living with the finest in contemporary comfort.

There are many other sponsors who help support the festival, from local eateries to maritime companies. See more about our sponsors here.
