MEDIA RELEASE - For Immediate Release
19 August 2015 Melbourne Celebrates 'International Talk Like Pirate Day' In Swashbuckling Style Melbournites will get dressed up as pirates, mermaids, sea creatures and undead buccaneers to shop for loot, learn sword-fighting and dance a jig at the 4th annual Pirate Tavern And Market. This family-friendly public event, founded by socialite Hannah A. Stanley in 2011 in answer to Melbourne’s blooming cosplay and costumed events scene, showcases Melbourne's best artisans selling everything from LARP-safe swords, period costumes and tricorn hats to leather works, skull jars, quill pens and more. The tall ship Enterprize’s Shanty Band will sing jaunty ballads while guests play board and card games, snaps 'shelfies' with the mermaids and mermen, and compete in the Cut-Throat Snap Tournament. There's also Pirate Poker, the Skull Hunt and the Colouring-In Competition (for kids and adults!). Renown Storyteller Roslyn Quin will perform pirate tales, and guests can get their fortunes told and their faces painted as voodoo skulls while enjoying hearty pub meals and plenty of rum! After 6pm this woodsy olde English Tavern will host The Swashbucklers Tournament - a sword duelling competition for all skill levels - followed by sexy tango dance lessons by Tango Libre, raffles and the Best Costume Awards. Melbourne bands The Dead Peasants and The Rum Runners will then rock the night with original piratey music. International Talk Like A Pirate Day was created by Americans John Baur and Mark Summers in 1995 after noting how much more fun their racquet ball game became when they yelled encouragement to each other in pirate slang. The idea was picked up by American syndicated humour columnist Dave Barry and has since grown into an international phenomenon celebrated by tens of thousands across the globe. Date: Saturday 19th September 2015 Venue: The Bull And Bear Tavern 347 Flinders Lane, Melbourne VIC Time: Markets: 1 - 5pm, Tavern 1pm - 11:30pm Tickets: Markets entry $5 until 5pm (free for under 15s), Day Passes $25 For more info please contact: Hannah Stanley [email protected] |
