Pirates of the Pennines

Captain Jack Sparrow leads his gang of cut-throat pirates on to Yorkshire's biggest inland beach at Eureka! The Museum for Children in Halifax. The Eureka! beach is open to museum visitors from 1 August until 3 September and is playing host to Pirates Ahoy! every Wednesday. Any children who come dressed as pirates get free entry. In case the weather takes a turn for the worse, Pirates Rough McClough and Pigswill Jill will direct visitors to a treasure hunt inside the museum. Other themed events include donkey rides every Thursday, and a beach party with sand sculpting workshops every Saturday.
