Jon Walton from Plymouth Waterfront Partnership said: "We're so excited to be bringing the Plymouth Pirates Weekend back for another year.
"It's always a fantastic opportunity for families to come together, enjoy our beautiful waterfront, and immerse themselves in a world of pirate adventure. The weekend is packed with activities free and small fee that will keep everyone entertained.
"From street entertainers to story tellers, face painting to traditional shanty bands, there’s something for everyone, including our pawesome pals with the Gables Farm dog show on the Sunday afternoon. "
"With thanks to Plymouth City Council, Plymouth CityBus, Hay’s Travel and of course, the businesses of the Plymouth Waterfront Partnership that each year support this iconic weekend in Plymouth’s event calendar.”
Royal William Yard says it is 'setting sail for a spectacular Pirates Weekend this Saturday and Sunday, celebrating the popular Plymouth event alongside the 200th anniversary of the Yard' which 'promises to be a swashbuckling occasion with a mix of maritime adventure, historical heritage, and plenty of family fun'.
One activity offers the unique opportunity to make authentic ship's biscuits – a nod to Royal William Yard's original purpose as a victualling yard, keeping the Navy afloat with food, drink and supplies.
When it was built 200 years ago, the Yard’s bakery was the biggest factory of its kind in the country, producing bread and ship's biscuits. This weekend, visitors can step back in time and – quite literally – get their hands on history.
