11:00 am - 3:00 pm
The pesky Pirates have returned to Bamburgh Castle but something isn’t quite right. They look very pale and even paler by night.
Have they been cursed?
Come dressed in your spookiest costume (or dress as a Pirate) and head to the Captain’s Quarters to play the Pirates at their own game.
If you can outwit a Pirate they will have to give you a piece of their treasure……..
These two characters are full of fun—but not to be trusted! Don’t say we didn’t warn you…
Captain Red
A ruthless scallywag with a weakness for shiny things and chocolate. Born on a neighbour’s decking in Tamworth, he’s a stamp collector turned pirate rogue. Once tried to steal a cannon aboard the Mary Rose, then took his yodelling act to Jamaica.
Warning: Known for long-winded tales and questionable morals. Avoid eye contact—especially if you’re holding sweets.
Captain Darrius Ironbeard
Standing 6ft 1 with a beard as shiny as treasure, Ironbeard is the jolliest pirate on the seas! Captain of the Black Tooth, he’s known for his booming laugh, daring adventures, and wild tales of sea monsters and lost islands.
Despite losing his leg to a rum-fuelled encounter with a sea bass (yes, really), he’s as fast and fearless as ever.
Good news: He’s a friendly pirate who loves helping young adventurers solve riddles and hunt treasure!”
So polish your spyglass and put on your tricorn hat
Location: Room beyond the gift shop (follow the signs for the Pirates from the stairs at the bottom of The Keep)
Please note: Pirate appearances are subject to change or cancellation.
