Ahoy there shipmates! The Old Time Sailors are setting sail for a venue near you… This year, UK audiences are invited to jump aboard the good ship The Sailorette and join the raggle taggle band of sea gypsies for an adventure on the high seas; time travel, theatre, and roaring tunes!

An all senses interactive experiential show that pulls out all the stops, you're invited to find your sea legs, sing and dance along and join our trumpet led conga around the ship!

As a member of the crew you'll chart a course for the 19th century, a period of intrepid nautical exploration, camaraderie and chaos; immersing yourself in an evening of traditional seafaring music, songs and shanties infused with Celtic Rock, punk and ska, among other surprises.

Led by Captain Nicholas Moffatt the ensemble of 20 brave musicians, multiple voices and over 30 traditional and modern instruments, play a repertoire of over 40 songs, the band play fully unplugged to ensure a dynamic and interactive experience.

As part of this unique show, every member of the audience will have the opportunity to purchase a copy of the ‘Sunday Sailor’, the groups’ custom-made, newspaper-styled programme which includes the lyrics to all of the songs to be performed across the night , leaving you no excuse not to join in. Assisting revellers with an authentic kind of drinking apparatus perfect for the occasion, official Old Time Sailors tankards will also be available to buy on the night.

Promising a feel good, endorphin elevating, sensory-popping show unmatched in its musical genre, expect to step inside a magnificent stage set with realistic traditional dress for a night specifically designed to provide a vividly real sensation of being aboard the Old Time Sailors’ trusty 19th century vessel.

Audience fancy dress is wholeheartedly encouraged, so pull out your finest seafaring garments and sign up for an adventure at sea as one of the Old Time Sailors shipmates and embark on what is destined to be the voyage of a lifetime.

A show that will shiver your timbers like no other this year, get ready for a night of foot-stomping and singing, dancing and debauchery like a drunken sailor!
