Brixham Pirate Festival

On 2nd May 2026 to 4th May 2026

Visit Brixham on the first Bank Holiday weekend in May and join a mass gathering of Pirates from all walks of life and drawn from far and wide. With amazing live music, street entertainers, a Shanty Town, family area, living history exhibits and skirmishes (incredibly loud bangs and cannon fire!). It's a truly entertaining (and very exhausting!) day....

Reviews

  • Harry Potteresque - Once on the platform we boarded the train (covid restrictions applied) and stepped back in time and themes of Harry Potters Hogwarts express sprang to mind! Brilliant!
  • Great!! - We all had such a fantastic day out. From the wonderful, helpful and friendly staff at Paignton to the quick and easy ferry crossing and the brilliant steamboat trip. Our captain on the steamboat was just amazing, so funny and full of brilliant facts and local knowledge.
  • Charming - We did a round trip from Totnes to Dartmouth. The trip was wonderful with clean comfortable boat, nice staff and excellent commentary (and nice refreshments). On the return we were treated to an extra spin past the two castles at the mouth of the estuary. Marvelous.
