On every first weekend of the month, the rich maritime history of the Cutty Sark comes to life with live sea shanty performances. Their resident sea shanty groups 'Swinging the Lead' and 'The HogEye Men' fill the famous tea clipper's 'Tween Deck with the harmonies of traditional working songs.

Kicking things off on Saturday, 5 April, is 'The HogEye Men', who will bring traditional songs to life, followed by 'Swinging the Lead' on Sunday. You'll then find them performing every first weekend until June.

All performances are included with admission, offering a one-off opportunity to experience the spirit of the historic tea clipper. Tickets can be purchased here.
