Sponsors & Advertisers
In 2025, an estimated 65,000 visitors descended on the town between Friday and Sunday to enjoy more than 350 hours of free entertainment from over 80 groups across multiple venues.
Our sponsors and advertisers play a key role in the Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival. With the event growing at a fast pace, sponsorship and advertising traction continues to grow year on year, benefitting both the town of Falmouth and the businesses involved.
If you’re interested in becoming a festival sponsor or advertising in the official programme and group guide, please contact the team at sponsorship@falmouthseashanty.co.uk. They will be happy to talk through the various options available.
We’re working on the sponsorship and advertising opportunities for 2026 and will update the website with details soon.
We’re grateful to our 2025 headline sponsors – The Greenbank Hotel, Seasalt Cornwall and Warrens Bakery.

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.
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.
Warrens Bakery is the oldest pasty maker in the world, proudly baking traditional Cornish pasties since 1860. With a passion for quality and locally sourced ingredients, they’ve been serving up delicious, handcrafted bakes for generations. Whether it’s a traditional pasty, sweet treat, or savoury delight, Warrens Bakery is a true taste of Cornwall! Nothing keeps a shanty singer in fine voice like a proper Cornish pasty!
There are many other sponsors who help support the festival, from local eateries to maritime companies. See more about our sponsors here.
