The Brixham pirates are hoping for an even bigger turnout for our new record bid during the third Pirate Festival this Spring.


Spokesman Captain Blood 'n' Guts said the Brixham Buccaneers, who also stage family entertainment on most summer Thursdays, are determined to hang onto their claim to fame.


"We had brilliant support from everyone last year for the big count, so we're relying on them again to come along again this year for the Mile of Pirates."


"It was a fun day for everyone last year and attracted pirate fans from as far afield as Kent, Scotland and Germany."


The "Arr-Factor" has shanty talent as musicians and singers appear in our local pubs.


We broke the world record: “The Most pirates in one gathering” at the 2009 festival, it was broken again, we won it back in 2010 with 1744 pirates!   Read more »
