\"\"Word has reached this publication of a Viking invasion and with the projected tides and wind forecast they\u2019re due to land on the West Strand beach in Portrush at 12.30 on Saturday 1st July!\u00a0 Will our very own Tavish Dhu make an appearance to save us; and if he does, will he be defeated by the Viking King Magnus Barelegs?\u00a0 And will Magnus Barelegs manage to capture our Mayor and the main sponsors?\u00a0 These and many other terrifying possibilities can only be answered by being in Portrush.\u00a0 The drama all starts at 11.00am with a Pirate Treasure Hunt and all are invited to participate free of charge but make sure you\u2019re in your best pirate outfit as you sail around the town in search of pirate answers!<\/p>\n

No-one could have foreseen just how popular this event would become and five years later it\u2019s one of the most popular fixtures in the resort\u2019s diary.\u00a0 Perhaps the beauty of it is that it can be enjoyed by all the family and it\u2019s absolutely free!\u00a0 The organisers, script writers and all in the background of this wonderful promotion have surpassed themselves with this year\u2019s production and it\u2019s described as Tavish<\/em> Dhu\u2019s most dangerous ever adventure!<\/em> \u00a0 Be prepared to \u201cshiver your timbers\u201d and \u201cbrace your mainbrace\u201d for another day of swashbuckling madness, adventure and laughs!<\/p>\n

Brian Moore, who acts as host and Compere of the Amphitheatre Events says of the event, \u201cit\u2019s the perfect combination of slapstick, imagination, music and lots of very innocent fun.\u00a0 Last year we had people from all around the world in the audience and it\u2019s an absolute joy to be a part of – if you\u2019re only going to visit Portrush once this summer make sure it\u2019s for Pirates Off Portrush!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Sunday 2nd July – Heritage Fair<\/p>\n
