This walk explores Bristol’s dockside haunts of smugglers and slavers, pirates and privateers.
Devised and delivered by Bristol Radical History Group and the Long John Silver Trust, it aims to shatter some of the myths around Bristol’s literary and piratical past.
The history of real-life buccaneers such as Blackbeard and William Dampier will be discussed; so too local connections to fictitious characters such as the world-famous anti-hero Long John Silver.
Participants will discover ways in which Bristol is associated with Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, Jonathan Swift’s famous riposte, Gulliver’s Travels, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s epic poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
Standard tickets £8
Concessions £6
