World Record Attempt

Penzance

Everyone is invited to come along dressed as a pirate to Penzance Promenade at 1pm to swell the numbers and help steal the title from Hastings, the current holders of the Guinness World Record, where 6,166 pirates put in an appearance! Can we make it to 7,000?

Get a fantastic view of the Golowan Maritime Festival’s Parade of Sail. Many of the local traditionally built wooden boats will be unfurling their mains’ls, lead by The Matthew, as they sail across the bay. There will also be music on the Prom to keep pirates’ toes tapping, lessons in Pirate Speak, funny photo boards and pirates firing real muskets and cannons.
