Brixham Pirate Festival as seen on TV
Don’t miss out! As seen on ITV’s This Morning today 6th May 2024.
The Brixham Pirate Festival began in 2002 when members of the community decided to create an event to liven up one of the quietest bank holidays of the year.
Since those humble beginnings, the festival has grown into one of the biggest pirate gatherings in the world, with thousands of people descending from all over the world for a long weekend of swashbuckling fun and seaside shenanigans set against the authentic backdrop of the historic port.
The festival finishes today so don’t miss out! There are bands playing, sea shantys, entertainment, food and much more. On until 4 pm. It’s just 8.5 miles from Torquay centre.
