***UPDATED TIMETABLE***

Due to the *generous* amount of rum consumed, we’ve had to tweak the timetable for Swanage Pirate Weekend… turns out this pirate read the tide times all wrong and nearly sent the whole crew to a watery grave.

Please share the *new* timetable far and wide across the Seven Seas!

Locations:
Pirate parade: along shore road
Beach battle: banjo pier and surrounding beach area
Sea shantys: arena in sandpit field
Cannon display: arena in sandpit field
Field battle: arena in sandpit field
Sword training: arena in sandpit field
Traders and food: sandpit field
