About Plymouth Pirates Weekend
Plymouth Pirates Weekend is an award-winning family favourite that takes over the Barbican and Sutton Harbour with swashbuckling fun. Expect costumed pirates roaming the cobbled streets, sea shanty singers, a pirate trail to follow, traders and plenty of themed entertainment to keep buccaneers of all ages busy across the historic waterfront.
Set against the backdrop of Plymouth's most atmospheric quarter, the weekend captures the city's rich maritime heritage with a sense of theatre and mischief. It is free to join in, warmly welcoming to children, and one of the liveliest ways to kick off the waterfront's busy season of events.
