Ahoy, my hearties! The Mersey Pirate Muster sails back into the port on Saturday 18 July. They’ll be throwing the anchor down, opening the gang-way and preparing for a day of maritime mischief from 11am — 5pm. The Captain is keeping some of his secrets close to his chest but he’s promised potential recruits they can meet his crew, listen to their sea shanties and stories, help them find the hidden treasure on a treasure hunt and learn the ropes of the ship. For those boys and girls brave enough, he’s also promised sword fighting, games, ghosts and gunpowder. I already have my eye-patch and and skull and cross bone hat ready. See you at the Pirate Battle?
