The experience

Brixham is the jewel of the English Riviera. For 51 weeks a year it is a quaint, tranquil, beautiful sea side town. However for 1 week every May it hosts the biggest gathering of Pirates from all around the world, when Brixham Pirate Festival comes to town.

The Festival was established in 2002 and has grown to be one of the biggest free festivals in the UK. Last year we estimated over 70,000 people attended.
