We’re excited to be sponsoring this event with The Dolmen and to see Weymouth play host to a wonderful family pirate event once again.

We hope to involve the whole town in our pirate shenanigans, as well as introducing visitors near and far to Weymouth and our pirate history. This free to attend, family friendly event will bring entertainment and fun to the month of October.”
