About this Event

"Highly recommend this glorious thing, 2 hours, 3 pubs, tall tales, what’s not to like?” – Kathryn Davies, MD, Visit West

excellent research… charismatic delivery…comedy… with a little vicarious thrill of terror” – Bristol24/7


Edward Teach –Blackbeard– was the world’s most infamous pirate. And, until his violent death in battle 300 years ago, the most feared. While no records of Teach in Bristol survive, new research in Jamaica proves his local origins –and a family background and previous career that differs wildly from that of your stereotype, rum-soaked pirate.

Your pirate guide, with Ted the fact-checking parrot, knows the worst pirate jokes you’ll ever hear.

So swash-and-buckle in Blackbeard’s footsteps and discover the truth, pausing at a couple of dockside hostelries along the way. You’ll separate the fact from the fiction – and never be short of a story down the pub again.

Heard of Stede Bonnet, star – with Blackbeard – of tv’s OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH? We reveal his Bristol family too!

AND our tour is followed by the Llandoger Sea Shanty Night, so stay on and join in –it’s free!


Mainly on the flat, lasts 2 hours, distance 1.5 miles.

Starts inside The Golden Guinea, pauses at The Hole in the Wall and ends inside The Llandoger Trow.
