This exciting family-friendly exhibition takes you on a journey through pirate history, film and literature.

Meet Vikings, Barbary corsairs, and Chinese pirates on the way and discover facts about their Ships and tactics.

There is lots to see and do… spectacular costumes from Black Sails, Peter Pan and Spartacus and fun interactives, children's trail and activity sheets for all ages. Try walking the plank or our fabulous costumes – adults included!
