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.
