Avast me hearties! Tis that time of year when scallywags, peglegs and parrots gather in the south Devon fishing village of Brixham for a weekend of swashbuckl­ing entertainm­ent. Whether ye be a salty old seadog or a little landlubber, you’re invited to get your pirate rags on and come on down to the seafront for shanty singing, jigging and a bit of rum swigging. This year, the festival be hosting a replica of Ferdinand Magellan’s tall ship the Nao Victoria which, in 1522, became the first ever vessel to circumnavi­gate the world.
