Our space is built on six core pillars: play and classes, community connections, homeschool support, private event rentals, social events, and business partnerships. From imaginative play and learning opportunities for children to supportive resources for homeschool families, The Shanty is a place where relationships flourish. We host seasonal markets, themed nights, and gatherings that light up the community, while also partnering with local businesses and creators to strengthen the heartbeat of St. Augustine.
The Shanty & Co. is a community-focused venue where families can come to connect, celebrate, and grow together. Whether you’re here to join the fun or create your own, The Shanty & Co. is where connection and community bloom.
As two moms, dreamers, and doers, we came together with a vision to create something more than just a space. We are building a place where families feel connected and supported. A space where children learn, play, and grow, and where parents and caregivers find their village. Our beautiful space is designed to host gatherings of all sorts from children’s’ classes to private events, or networking meetings to community moments that bring people together.
To cultivate a warm, creative, and flexible space where families, entrepreneurs, and organizations can gather, play, celebrate, and connect with intention.
To become the local go-to community hub for families and businesses, offering a space that is both aesthetically elevated and deeply functional.
