Hosted by World Pirate Tours, the experience is now available in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Chester, Birmingham and Bristol, with costumed pirate guides leading groups on a lively adventure through each city's waterfront.

The nine-hour experience kicks off with a booze cruise, where guests can knock back a few drinks, dance, get merry and take part in a host of silly games, before embarking on a guided pub crawl around a selection of local boozers once the boat docks back on dry land.

Whether you're planning a birthday celebration, stag or hen party, a weekend away or a raucous knees-up with your pals, World Pirate Tours promise a memorable alternative to the average night out. Fancy dress is encouraged.
