The Withernsea Pirate are a group of enthusiastic people who share the common interest of bringing together the many different organisations in the town together to stage many events throughout the year. these events include Music, Songs, Poetry, Art, Dance and Theatre. Everyone in the group gives their time for free and by doing so we are able to keep any charges for admision to a minimum and often to zero. We raise money by staging Tombolas, Raffles, Concerts and we have a whole range of personalised merchandise which we sell at a small profit.
The climax of our year is The Withernsea International Pirate Festival which we staged for the first time last year. It was so well received that we are now making it an annual event, this will take place over 4 days 7th-10th Aug 2014. Apart from holding our own event we are always pleased to take part in other community activities, to date these have included Residential Care Homes, A Children's Nursery, Town Council Events and a Royal Visit.
We also raise money for charities. Last year we recorded a CD which sold at £10 each and we donated 100 copies each to The RNLI, The Coastguards Association and to STAND who work for the families of the Lost Trawlermen of Hull.
