Neston Pirate-themed Summer Market

In addition to the wonderful outdoor Friday Market, there will also be musical entertainment and lots of FREE pirate themed activities for children.
Children’s poet and author, Martyn Harvey, who’s wonderfully illustrated books include the Squiggly Pete the Pirate, will be judging a pirate fancy dress competition at 11 am and handing out prizes to the winners. Anyone who would like to enter should head for the charity book stall. Martyn hopes to give a Book cover, courtesy of Martyn Harvey
reading from his book, and may even do some impromptu cartooning, at 10.30 am, before judging the competition with assistance from The Mayor and a member of Little Actors Theatre Company.
From 9 am there will FREE face painting for children, a FREE to enter Treasure Hunt with a small prize from Neston Town Council for every entrant, and The Wooden Spoonful will be offering a FREE children’s biscuit-decorating activity.
There will be a charity book stall, from where Town Councillors will be handing out entry forms and prizes for the Treasure Hunt.

Little land lubbers are asked to help look around the market for the notorious pirate Captain Scallywag, whose picture will be on the wanted posters. Entrants may even receive a doubloon reward if he can be spotted…
There will be a variety of delicious treats and essentials for a summer barbeque, picnic or ‘grub’ for ship mates! You could even take a break for a drink, a bite to eat or an ice cream from the ice cream van, while you soak up the atmosphere and listen to the wonderful musical entertainment provided by The 64 N’Ukes. It looks set to be a fun packed day all round.
