Swashbuckling Pirate Workshops and Buccaneering Adventures

Pirates and piracy is an interesting way of looking at history, from the way in which people of the Tudor period were expanding their influence around the world, the how crime and punishment have changed over the years. Although piracy continues to this day, we assume you are looking for the pirates who sailed in Galleons, swashbuckled with swords and wore tricorns and eye-patches.

Primary schools looking for a pirate themed workshop are usually looking to inspire their children's creative writing skills while telling them a bit more about who the pirates were and how they lived their lives.

Was that not pirate-y enough?

Ladies and Gentlemen o' fortune. Pirates be somethin' most adults don't grow out o' let alone sprogs. If ye be tellin' adventure tales full o' booty and rich treasures to compliment yer creative writin', or studyin' 'ow these heroes of old fit into world 'istory, then shiver me timbers we can 'elp ye with a range o' fantastic workhops. Arr matey keep scrolling for treasure.
