Withernsea Pirates Big Gig Warm Up
A full day of entertainment to bring together many different groups and organisations in the town to celebrate the popular and colourful image of Pirates in Music, Dance, Art, Theatre and Song.
With guests and visitors coming literally from all over the world we aim to help revive the interest and popularity of Withernsea which was once a popular holiday resort. The many groups that have shown an interest and asked to come on board for The Pirate Festival include, The Lions, The R.A.O.B, The Local Dance Groups both adult and childrens, The Community Choir, The Residents Association, The R.N.L.I, The Coastguard Association, Local Council, Theatre Groups, Bands, Poets and Singers and even our Local Ariva bus company has asked if they can be involved.
The Withernsea Pirates hold events throughout the year to raise funds for the Festival and to keep a high profile. We have group meetings on a weekly basis and open social evening once a month which gives a chance for new people to be involved.
The popularity of the Withernsea Pirates is reflected by the nice comments and enquiries that we get from traders, residents and visitors to the town. We have 2499 members on our Fb page.
