Swindon Town Centre is set for lots of free entertainment and activities starting next week.

From Friday 2nd through to Sunday 4th June 2017 the town centre will host a Pirate Fest spectacular to coincide with the launch of the Pirates of the Caribbean new film, which opens in cinemas at the end of May 2017.

Wharf Green will be transformed into Pirate Ship Zone, where you will be entertained by the greatest villain of all time, the famous Captain Hook! Also planned is local live music and dance, children’s entertainment, fancy dress competition and prizes. Captain Hook activities will include apple bobbing, pirate limbo, funfair rides, pirate crafts, free face painting and lots more!

The Brunel Shopping Centre will have a whole host of activities for you also, including competitions, face painting (Saturday and Sunday 11am -3pm), pirate craft sessions to meeting Captain Jack!

The Pieces of Eight Interactive Competition being held at the Parade Shopping centre gives you the chance to WIN tickets to see the NEW Pirates of the Caribbean film at Regent Circus.

The Pirates event, which is taking place during the June school half-term, is the result of partnership working between The Brunel Centre, inSwindon BID Company, The Parade and Regent Circus.
