Songs of the Sea: An Afternoon of Shanties and Music

Wednesday, September 9th 2026 1:30pm - 3:00pm
Boat Hall, Shetland Museum and Archives

Come along to the Shetland Museum Boat Hall for a lively afternoon of music and sea shanty singing with the Shalder Shanty group and members of the Sørlandet crew.

This is a free Alzheimer Scotland (Shetland) event, offering a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a merry maritime atmosphere, singing alongside local musicians, Peter, Una, Niall and Jim and the crew of a historic tall ship whilst they are here in Shetland.

Step inside the four-storey Boat Hall, with its full-length windows looking out over the dock, and join in singing songs of the sea.

Tickets are free, but booking recommended as public tickets are limited.
