More information from organisers:

The Golden Age of Piracy is perfect for families and history enthusiasts alike.

Spend the day with the crew. Discover life during the period between 1650 and 1720, when more than 5,000 pirates sailed the seas.

Learn to separate pirate fact from fiction. Then enjoy songs of the sea, witness small sword and cutlass fights, and hear the tale of a real 18th-century mutiny.

The day culminates with a bang as the crew demonstrate the firepower of pirates and marines in the arena on the lawns overlooking the River Thames.

In between, you can wander amongst the encampment and get a unique insight into the clothes and weapons of the early 18th century. Listen to live musicians play music of the time. You can also sample authentic food from the Taste of History period kitchen.
