ACT Falmouth’s Official Launch Event !

The theme of the day is about ‘How to Be More Pirate’ ( don’t worry we’re not going to ask you to dress up as a pirates! unless you want too) Inspired by the books by Sam Conniff and Alex Barker, Ambos have teamed up with the Be More Pirate Crew to explore the lessons from the golden age of piracy, and how we might re-write the rules to address the urgent issues of our time.
