Falmouth Shanty Festival Meet Up for Quiet People

Connect with likeminded quieteers for a relaxed afternoon at the Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival on Friday 13th June from 3.30pm.

This Pop Up Meet Up is designed to help you enjoy something you might not normally do with likeminded people in a calm and gentle way that feels authentic to your true quiet self. It’s a safe space for you to have a go at something fun and perhaps gently stretch your comfort zone as part of a community of quieteers who truly get you.

We can’t wait to welcome you.

What to expect
We’ll start by finding a quieter spot together to settle in - somewhere we can sit and chat (or not chat!) and take in the music at a comfortable distance. You can bring a picnic or grab something from one of the nearby food stalls if you’d like. There’s no pressure to stay for any particular length of time; you're free to come and go in whatever way feels good for you.

A Quiet Connections team member will be there to welcome you and help you feel at ease. There’ll be friendly faces, gentle conversation, and no expectations to perform or make small talk. Just real connection, calm company, and the joy of shared experience.

You don’t need to be a shanty fan (yet!) - just be curious and open to exploring something new in a safe and supportive way.

What to bring & on-site facilities
Some water to keep you hydrated is always a good idea, especially if it's hot. But there will be plenty of shops, cafes, and food stalls if you need anything.

To find out more or join us, please visit quietconnections.co.uk/falmouth-shanty-festival to register so we know who to look out for and can update you on any changes. Or alternatively just meet us there.
