From 1 Jun 2025 to 3 Sep 2025
7.30pm [DATES TO BE DECIDED]
As always during the summer, the choir will be 'at home' in Polperro for their famous free summer concerts on selected Wednesdays, helping to raise large sums of money for charity.

The dates will appear here as soon as they have been decided so keep watching this space. The Wreckers will be singing nearby afterwards - just follow us!
SONGS OF PRAISE IN POLRUAN
22 Jun 2025
6.30
Soon after formation more than 100 years ago, the choir of the Polperro Fishermen was attracting huge congregations to their Harvest of the Sea services, mainly because of their fellow fisherman and inspirational lay preacher, Tommy Mark, who became known as the Fishermen’s Bishop. Still based in the Polperro chapel where it was formed in 1923, Polperro Fishermen's Choir will be singing on Polruan's Old Coal Wharf on Sunday 22nd June. The event is free and all are welcome. (It will be in St Saviour's Church if wet.)
SINGING FOR LOOE RNLI
8 Jul 2025
7.30pm
The choir will be singing in Looe RNLI boathouse at 7.30pm on Tuesday 8th July. The concert is FREE and seating is available. Having had a concert slightly delayed by a 'shout' in the past, we should remind you that all the concerts are subject to any necessary RNLI operational decisions and precautions. As the RNLI is one of our favourite charities, please help us support their essential service with a donation. We'll be singing there again on 5th August so we hope you'll come and join us. We love to entertain!
HARVEST OF THE SEA IN LANSALLOS
26 Oct 2025
6.30 pm
Celebrate the Harvest of the Sea with us in St Ildierna's Church in Lansallos (PL13 2PX), a reminder of the days when the Polperro Fishermen's Choir was attracting huge congregations to Harvest of the Sea services around 100 years ago. Parking will be available in the National Trust car park some 250 yards up the road (free at that time of day) and the church toilets will be open. Come and join us for good singing, a taste of history and some sociable chat!
