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
- Trip back in time - What a fantastic experience. The train ride from Paignton is a gentle trip with stunning views. Arriving in Kingswear you can almost imagine how people in days gone by must have felt. A short ferry ride takes you into Dartmouth which is a stunning little town.
- An enjoyable day! - Had a wonderful day riding on the steam railway and a boat trip along the River Dart. Excellent scenery along the coast. The ferry was quick and efficient.
- 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.
