[Harwich & Parkeston FC History @HPFChistory]

😍 Programmes, photos, newspapers, pin badges - we've got loads of @OfficialHarwich memorabilia ready to show on @nonleaguedayuk!

💷 A reminder that there will be an auction and programme sale with some of the money raised going to the @LV18MiAmigo lightship restoration appeal.

[On This Day RN @OnthisdayRN]

The word ‘Aloof’ also has its origin in the days of sail probably from the Dutch word loef later luff in English meaning to windward and away from a lee shore, from where danger lies.

It now means ‘distant’ for that very reason.

[Harwich Shanty Fest @HarwichShanty]

One thing is for sure! Our International Shanty Festival could not operate without the help and support of our wonderful sponsors, many of whom are local businesses. So thanks to all of them and please support them in turn over the Festival weekend and beyond.

[Harwich Shanty Fest @HarwichShanty]

There's a lot to see and do at Harwich Shanty Festival, much of it free. And always a lot going on at the Redoubt Fort, with pirates, historical re-enactment, maritime crafts, street theatre and more. Don't forget to visit this year. Open all three days of the Festival from 10.00

We were asked by @VisitEssex to put something on our website for Harwich visitors to do (when the Shanty festival isn't on!)

Well, it's up, please take a look:
