Plymouth is gearing up for a swashbuckling spectacle as the highly anticipated Pirates Weekend is set to take place on Saturday and Sunday 9th and 10th May.
Returning this year is the daring Pirate Raft Race in aid of the RNLI, a fleet of crews will launch their handmade vessels from the Barbican’s Commercial Wharf, embarking on a thrilling race that promises excitement, creativity, and plenty of pirate spirit. Each team will take to the water aboard their own uniquely crafted raft, all designed to meet the challenge of being truly sea-worthy.
Pirate crew are wanted to take part by the event organisers Plymouth Waterfront Partnership.
Kim Downer, Deputy CEO and Business Liaison Manager said: “We’re seeking Pirate crew for The Pirate Raft Race which is set to be a highlight of the weekend, offering fun for all ages and a fantastic opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate Plymouth’s maritime heritage.
