Bringing Morecambe’s communities together to celebrate our Maritime Heritage.

We plan and manage a wide range of activities on the seafront and in local venues to benefit the local communities by:

• local community groups and small vendors having the opportunity to showcase their products and services to the local and festival visitors.
• strengthening the sense of community, and civic pride through workshops based around our fishing & shipping heritage and our maritime environment.
• offering activities which enable
  • all ages to engage with the relationship between local wildlife and the environment.
  • young people build their self-confidence and communication skills by creating and performing songs and creative writings to be showcased during the festival.
• offering local performers the opportunity to develop their performance skills through the experience of performing with national Maritime singing acts.
• increasing local business opportunities from visiting tourists coming to the festival.
