swashbuckling adventure!
THE Mersey Ferry will be doing its best
impression of the Black Pearl, on Saturday, 10 September 2016, as special
pirate themed River Explorer services are held to celebrate the Pirate Festival,
on the Dock, and kids who come in pirate fancy dress will be able to travel for
free!
The Pirate Festival on the Dock is a free family swashbuckling spectacular on
the Liverpool waterfront and will feature thrilling live action under sail,
theatrical swordfights and breath taking stunts, this year interwoven with local
folklore and the fascinating heritage of the Liverpool privateers who once
plundered the 7 seas.

special pirate themed River Explorer Cruises on Saturday from 12 noon to 5pm.
The 50 minute cruises will depart on the hour from Pier Head, Liverpool calling

join in with fun and frolics along with some pirate themed narration.
Children who are dressed in pirate fancy dress will be able to travel
FREE of charge with every full paying adult on
River Explorer services from 12 noon to 5pm." said a spokesperson for

on the Dock is another great event to be held on the waterfront and Mersey
Ferries are delighted to be playing our part in offering something a little bit
