Ship Inn Johnshaven

24/08/2026

Good evening Shipmates! What an amazing amount we raised together at this year’s Fish Festival - over £1000!! The support, the laughter, the music, the sheer village magic…you made it unforgettable.

Sorry it’s taken a wee moment to update you - Captain Cat took herself off on holiday straight after the festival (needed mind you!) and we’ve been round the fish bowl a few times since getting everything back in order! 🐟

A huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who turned up, pitched in, shook buckets, and spread the word. Your time, kindness, and enthusiasm helped push us past that incredible milestone.

And an extra-big shout‑out to The Goats, Shenanigans, and all the other brilliant musicians who filled the pub garden with warmth, music, and that unmistakable Johnshaven welcome. You made the space feel alive from start to finish.

Community spirit at its finest - thank you all 🌊🦞⚓🩵

Take note folks!!

And the bus takes you to right outside The Ship! What could be more perfect?! 😁😎

**IMPORTANT - ACCESSING THE EVENT**

If you can, please use public transport where possible. If you’re taking the car, please adhere to all road signs and stewards and follow their instructions.

Please DO NOT enter Lathallan from the A92, as we operate a one way system and this is the exit route. Entry is by turning into the main entrance road for Johnshaven and following signage and stewards instructions.

ALL parking for the event is at Lathallan School, which you will be directed to upon entering the village. Parking is £5.00 - Cash & £5.50 - Card per vehicle.

Remember, entry to the event itself is FREE, therefore, the car parking is one of our main ways of raising funds.
From Lathallan, it is only a pleasant 10-15 minute walk to the harbour area. We do provide 2 courtesy mini buses (one is adapted to accommodate a wheelchair/small mobility scooter) transferring you to the village if you’d prefer.These also operate to take you back to the car parking after your visit.

There are designated disabled spaces at Lathallan. These are located next to the courtesy bus stop, These are still charged.

We would like to extend thanks to PertBruce Construction & Sunbelt Rentals for supporting us with traffic management equipment this year & to Mearns minibus links and Smith and Sons Coaches for the buses!!!

Thank you in advance for your understanding and we hope you have a great day 🐙🦑🦐🦞🦀🐡🐠🐟🐬🐳🐋🦈
