Teign festival goes bi-annual

Two years ago, Teign Maritime & Shanty Festival was an enormous success. Teignmouth and Shaldon were bustling with visitors, which brought much-needed business into the area and raised record funds for various charities.

To make certain that the committee responsible for organising the event have the time and resources required to undertake the huge amount of logistical planning involved and to recruit the additional helpers that are required to ensure continued success, it was decided to cancel the festival in 2022 and to make it a bi-annual event.

This year’s festival will therefore take place over three days from 8-10 September when its nominated charities will be the RNLI, Rowcroft Hospice, Teign Heritage Centre and the Alice Cross Centre.

The committee sincerely looks forward to welcoming visitors once again in 2023. They have already begun the planning and recruitment process to make the event even more special and have advised supporters to keep a close eye on the festival’s website and social media for continuing updates.
