polly woodside
Ahoy, matey! Join the pirates of Polly Woodside every third Sunday of the month for an action-packed adventure on the high seas! Kids aged 3 and up can enjoy pirate activities like scrubbing decks, finding treasure, and even swinging from ropes! You’ll get a pirate name and tattoos before exploring the ship, steering the wheel, and ringing the bell to warn the captain of danger. After your adventure, dive into pirate-themed activities on the pier like colouring, hat-making, and reading. Don’t forget to dress up—pirate costumes are available, or bring your own!
