PEOPLE are invited to an 'over the yardarm party' at Settle Victoria Hall on Saturday, May 7.

The UK's oldest surviving music hall will be transformed into a sailing ship for the sea shanty spectacular with The Old Time Sailors.

People are urged to go along with their best shanty-singing voice and dress as a pirate for the music show which is designed to rake the audience back in time through an unforgettable trip to the 19th century.

The 'crew' is composed of 17 musicians, playing fully unplugged, with more than 30 songs and tunes to sing and dance to, surrounded by drunken sailors, all within a magnificent stage set, designed to give the sensation of being inside a 19th century vessel.

Ticket includes a free rum punch on arrival. Prizes for the best costume.

Nashville based The Grahams play the hall on Sunday, May 8.
