Shiver me timbers and man the riggings m'hearties for Shipwreck Isle 2016! The pirate extravaganza is returning to Ryde as part of Festival of the Sea.

11am - 3pm: Join the Governor’s Garden Party with garden games including croquet and bowls with the Red Coats at Western Gardens (St.Thomas Street, Esplanade). But, beware of pirate raiders who have threatened to crash the party!

12pm - 5.15pm: Join Goodleaf tree climbing as they hoist the Jolly Roger over their magnificent Oak tree for some extra special one hour tree climbs. They'll be giving you the chance to hoist the mainsail (climb the rope) and walk the plank (walk out on a branch) in the Goodleaf tree. Get a free Goodleaf badge if you go along dressed in your best pirate gear.

3pm – 9pm on Appley Beach: Pirate Skirmishes, Cannons, Live Pirate Music, Blackbeards Market, Pirate Entertainment, Bar & Food.

Continues on Sunday 19th June
