Falmouth Classics 2026

Since it began in 1987, Falmouth Classics has steadily grown to be one of the largest Classic sailing events in the UK. Enjoy this nautical spectacle alongside the Sea Shanty festivities.

Just in time for the Sea Shanty Festival, enjoy uninterrupted views out over the harbour, for what promises to be a weekend filled with all things nautical. Delight in this unique experience as 2026’s Falmouth Classics sail on in the distance. Tap your toe to the jovial soundtrack of singing sailors, pint in hand.

Falmouth is recognised as having some of the best sailing waters in the world. From 13th to 15th June, Carrick Roads and Falmouth Bay will be full of sails of all types, shapes and colours. Ranging in size from 9ft right up to 150ft or more, these incredible vessels include the famous Falmouth Working Boats, after which our very own pub, The Working Boat, is named.

Revel in the anticipation over three days of racing, and marvel in their full glory during the Parade of Classic Boats and the Small Classic Boat Parade. A lively social programme includes the Haven and Welcome Receptions, the Classics Supper, and the Classics Maritime Village. What’s more, there’ll be rowing and sculling races, as well as public viewings of the boats.

Why not see if you can catch a glimpse of these incredible vessels from The Greenbank? Downstairs, you can grab a frosty beer or a glass of something chilled. Feeling peckish? Our talented chefs will be knocking up a range of mouth-watering dirty fries in our ‘mar-quay’. It’s weekends like this that remind us just how lucky we are here on the water’s edge.
