We can't wait to get those sardines on the barbecue this Saturday 20th from 12-2pm. Come and say hello and enjoy the Gansey Gathering Sardine Festival at Commercial Wharf thanks to The Conscious Sisters π¦π¦π¦π¦
Come rain or shine we will be marking Plymouth's fishing heritage this Saturday 20th June from 11am to 4pm.
Be part of Plymouth's first ever Gansey Gathering Sardine Festival at Commercial Wharf including a free sardine BBQ sponsored by Interfish.
Entertainment will include shanty groups The Seagals and Seaweed in the Fruit Locker, alongside marquees with hands-on coastal crafts such as crab pot making and fish skin leatherwork. There will also be storytelling and story walks for those who want to find out more about our fishing heritage.
Plus in true fisherman fashion we hope to see one hundred local people wearing Janner Ganseys on the day to celebrate Plymouth's coastal heritage and the traditional Gansey fishing jumper.
You can also discover more about our new project titled Adrift which features the UK's oldest and youngest fishermen as part of an exciting new artwork celebrating the Gansey fishing jumper.
This project is funded by Arts Council England, POP Collectives and Crowdfunder
Pop the date in your diary for this weekend and enjoy a free, fish-themed event for all the family.
