Batten down the hatches as Swindon Town Centre will be buzzing with free entertainment and activities for all the family to enjoy next month – inspired by all things pirates.

From Friday 2 through to Sunday 4 June the town centre will host a Pirate Fest spectacular to coincide with the launch of the new Pirates of the Caribbean film ‘Dead Men Tell No Tales’ which opens in cinemas at the end of May.

There will be an abundance of free activities designed especially for families. Wharf Green will be transformed into Captain Hook’s Pirate Ship zone, featuring live music and dance, children’s entertainment, competitions and prizes. Activities will include apple bobbing, pirate limbo, funfair rides and free face painting will be available across the town including the Parade, the Brunel Shopping Centre and Regent Circus.

Visitors will also be able to take advantage of lunchtime offers from town centre businesses and hunt for golden treasure in the pirate treasure hunt. Plus, there will be opportunities to meet all your favourite Peter Pan characters across the town centre.

The pirates event, which is taking place during school half-term, is the result of partnership working between The Brunel Centre, inSwindon BID Company, The Parade and Regent Circus.
