“Highly recommend this glorious thing, 2 hours, 3 pubs, tall tales, what’s not to like?” – Kathryn Davies, Director of Tourism, Visit West
“excellent research… charismatic delivery…comedy… with a little vicarious thrill of terror” – Bristol24/7
Edward Teach – Blackbeard – was the world’s most infamous pirate. And, until his violent death 300 years ago, the most feared. While no records of Teach in Bristol survive, new research in Jamaica proves his local origins – and his difference from your stereotype, rum-soaked pirate.
Your pirate guide, with Ted the fact-checking parrot, knows the worst pirate jokes you’ll ever hear. Walk in Blackbeard’s footsteps and discover the truth, with pauses at a couple of dockside hostelries. We separate the fact from the fiction and you’ll never be short of a story down the pub again.
AND it’s the Llandoger Sea Shanty Night after our tour – stay on and join in – it’s free!
