Brixham Pirate Festival 2026

The Planning

Ahoy, mateys! This year’s pirate festival is set to entertain 70,000 landlubbers over three days, so I better start gathering treasures faster than a parrot can scarf down crackers!

Here's the lineup of creations we're about to unleash on the unsuspecting masses:

Crochet: new treasure pouches, cat ear hats, bags in every size imaginable, and hair clips that'll make your locks the talk of the seven seas!

Plushies: a Gloop of Goobers that I've been crafting like a mad pirate!

Stickers and Prints: a restock along with new designs I've been working on in secret, like a pirate with a map to buried treasure!

Plus new badges and other trinkets that'll make perfect pirate souvenirs!

The Festival

Ahoy, Mateys!

Saturday marked the grand kickoff of the festival, and I found meself in a bit of a quandary regarding the finest arrangement for me treasures. So, I went with the layout ye see below. As ye can tell, it be a right jumble, with me table overflowing like a ship's hold after a successful plunder! It be a sight to behold, but mayhaps a touch overwhelming for the landlubbers passing by!

Arrr, on the days of Sunday and Monday, I be settin' me sights on a more spread-out arrangement, savvy? I be movin' the crochet treasures to the far end of me second table, usin' the sturdy rails of the gazebo to hoist a few of the grander pieces. As for the stickers and the more 'kiddie' trinkets, I shifted 'em to the main table, for there be a great number of wee scallywags drawn to the bracelets and stickers when they be facin' outward from the gazebo, rather than turnin' their gaze inward. Aye, it be a clever strategy indeed!
