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
- Absolutely fabulous experience - The whole day was fabulous with great weather and steam trains. The line is one of the most scenic you will ever experience and is a must visit if in the area. I will definitely be back again :-)
- So organised - So well organised. All had seat reservations and the coaches were extremely clean. The river cruise did not disappoint and without doubt one of the best commentaries I have ever heard. Without exception everyone enjoyed the day out, and thought it was the highlight of our holiday. A credit to all.
- Chugging along! - The cruise along the River Dart was delightful and the witty commentary was also very informative. The last leg on the steam train was fantastic - chugging along past the beautiful beaches with children waving to you from the sands. Just priceless! We had the most amazing day, the itinerary is done with military precision and is therefore relaxing and exciting - we really loved it. This has got to be a "must do" trip!
