Learn raucous, authentic sea shanties in a sea-view loft above Brighton's Fishing Museum. This hour-long, all-levels workshop combines maritime history, instant polaroids, and a shot of rum for a memorable coastal group outing.
Homeward Bound is a Brighton-based experience operator that specializes in authentic sea shanty gatherings and nautical team-building events. Located by the vibrant Brighton beachside, Homeward Bound runs a mix of on-land and at-sea experiences designed to teach, entertain, and create memorable moments for groups of friends, colleagues, and visiting guests.
The programme includes daytime sea shanty sessions held in a seaside loft, evening events led by performer Zack McKraken, an at-sea sailing singalong along the Brighton coast lasting one hour, and a bespoke corporate team-building away day tailored for group bonding. Each trip emphasizes lively, participatory singing of traditional sailor songs from the Golden Age and pairs the musical experience with keepsakes such as instant polaroid photos and single-serve grog or rum where noted.
Homeward Bound is featured on The Adventure Collective, which highlights the business to audiences seeking local, experience-driven activities in Brighton. All experiences are centered on communal singing, maritime storytelling, and creating lasting photographic mementos. By offering both on-land loft events and an at-sea option, Homeward Bound provides accessible choices for different group preferences while keeping the nautical theme consistent and authentic.
