Ahoy ๐ดโโ ๏ธ
Roads around the centre of Brixham will be closed at the weekend as the port plays host to legions of pirates from all over the country. The Brixham Pirate Festival is expected to draw massive crowds on Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday.
Highlights include parades, live music, a tall ship in the harbour and โskirmishesโ complete with authentic cannon fire. At one point the ashes of one of the festivalโs biggest fans will be fired out across the harbour from a cannon.
Clive Mencarini died at the age of 63 in January 2020, and his family had intended to fire his ashes from a cannon at the 2020 Pirate Festival, only for that to be called off due to the coronavirus pandemic. This yearโs festival will be their first opportunity to give him his full pirate send-off.
