With remarkable acoustics and a charming mezzanine gallery, our chapel creates a warm and atmospheric venue during the Shanty Weekend or after a day exploring the village. Follow the sound up the hill and discover a place like no other.

St Peter’s Church
Our lovely little seaside Church, here in Port Isaac, will be open throughout the Shanty Weekend. What’s really good about this venue are the amazing acoustics so prepare to hear some beautiful harmonies.
We welcome everyone to our special Shanty Service at 9.30am on the Sunday morning that will be recognising the work of Port Isaac RNLI.
As well as our church, St Peter’s is also a Arts & Crafts hub so there will be artworks on display - you will see first hand work from some very talented local artists and crafts people.
We are also home to Port Isaac Heritage, a group that that strives to keep alive the history of the real Port Isaac. Throughout the weekend there will be an exhibition about Music & Singing in our village throughout the years.
Not forgetting we will be serving light refreshments.
