🗓️ Saturday 27th – Sunday 28th May 2023
Invading Swanage beach & taking up post at Sandpit Field, the pirates are back for another weekend of swashbuckling shenanigans and skirmishes.
Watch as they show off their sword-fighting skills, practise their musket & canon fire, and parade through town.
Enjoy living history displays, talks and stalls at Sandpit Field, where there’ll also be plenty of food and drink on offer.
