About this Event

“Highly recommend this glorious thing, 2 hours, 3 pubs, tall tales, what’s not to like?” – Kathryn Davies, Director of Tourism, 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 300 years ago, the most feared. While no records of Teach in Bristol survive, new research in Jamaica proves his local origins – and his difference from your stereotype, rum-soaked pirate.

Your pirate guide, with Ted the fact-checking parrot, know the worst pirate jokes you’ll ever hear.  Walk in Blackbeard’s footsteps and discover the truth, with pauses at a couple of dockside hostelries. We separate the fact from the fiction and you’ll never be short of a story down the pub again.

NEW FOR 2023 – Stede Bonnet stars in the new OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH – we know a thing or two about him too.

AND it’s the Llandoger Sea Shanty Night after our tour – stay on and join in – it’s free!


Outdoor walking tour, lasts approx 2 hours, route 1 mile. Easy walking, mainly flat. Ends King St. Full risk assessment carried out.
