Pirate Pandemonium at The Ridings

The Ridings are also take part in Seaside in the City – playing host to Pirate Pandemonium, an 18 foot pirate ship, docking on the upper mall on Saturday 17 August.

The Captain and his crew will be performing two interactive shows at 11.30am and 2pm and instead of walking the plank the pirates will walk the malls between 12.30pm and 1.15pm. Plus there’ll be a limited amount of free pirate kits up for grabs.

The pirate themed fun is set to continue on Sunday 18 August when there’ll be a free workshop at The Ridings from 11am to 3pm for children to make their very own pirate masks and parrots.
