Youngsters are encouraged to dress for the part and join the crew for a day of fun and adventure on the good ship Polly Woodside.
The next Pirate Sunday is scheduled for 2nd July followed by 6th August and 3rd September.

Cost of entry is Adult $16, Concession $13, Children $9.50, Family (2A 2C) $43. Prices are inclusive of Pirate Sundays activities.
A three-masted iron-hulled Barque Polly Woodside was built in Belfast and launched in December 1885, towards the end of the era of great sailing ships. She was named after her owner's wife.
Polly Woodside was purchased by the National Trust in 1968 for just one cent and spent the next 10-years undergoing restoration.
