Whitby Pirate Festival is set to return to North Yorkshire’s shores from August 30 to September 1 this year.
The festival first formed in 2004, starting as the Whitby International Pirate Society, and ultimately expanding to create the very first pirate day in 2008.
In 2014, the society took over the running of Whitby Pirate Festival and extended the event to a three-day swashbuckling extravaganza.
This year’s festival is set to feature a variety of different events, aimed at both families and older festival goers, and seeks to raise money for the Whitby RNLI. So far, they’ve raised more than £10,000 for the lifeboat charity.
