Welcome
Shanty Baba has been a professional storyteller in St Ives for over 20 years. He is renowned for his charismatic and engaging style of storytelling. Come and find out for yourself why people call his performances "the highlight of their holiday" and one of the town's top attractions. He is also the creator and custodian of the Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton Museum in St Ives.
2025 UPDATE
Shanty will only be performing his Lantern Ghost Storywalk in 2025. His other storywalks are taking a rest this year while he works on some other projects, including his forthcoming indoor show “Season of the Witch”. Please book early especially in the Summer months to avoid disappointment. Shanty is away all September, so there will be no performances.
