Pirates capture Cadbury World!

26th April 2010. Posted by Sam Dowling.

Cadbury World is preparing to be captured by swashbuckling pirates this May Bank holiday weekend, during its new action-packed Pirate event.


The popular Midlands attraction will be transformed into a pirate experience for the whole family from Saturday 1st to Monday 3rd May. The weekend is packed with activities including a climbing wall in the play area and the chance to join the crew by coming dressed as pirates.  There will also be a hearty amount of pirate entertainment in the marquee and the chance to meet Captain Calamity.


This year Cadbury World celebrates its 20th Anniversary with a series of themed events planned throughout the year. Pirates Weekend is followed by a performance by popular martial arts duo Strike from Britain’s Got Talent on 8th May


Cadbury World opened its doors in 1990 and now receives over 570,000 visitors each year including 30,000 school pupils. Cadbury World has also been announced as the official sponsor of the Junior and Family Walkathon, part of the BRMB Lookers Vauxhall Walkathon on 6th June which is raising money for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Charity in Selly Oak.


The Cadbury World attraction currently has fourteen different zones including The Cadbury Story where visitors will learn how the business started and developed and how Cadbury Dairy Milk was created, and Advertising Avenue which allows them to come face to face with Cadbury’s legendry drumming gorilla.

Lucy Giaquinto, Marketing Manager at Cadbury World said
“Pirate Weekend promises to be a great adventure for the whole family, with enough activities to keep your little scallywags entertained. We’ve got a whole host of exciting events lined up for the coming weeks and are sure that once you’ve visited Cadbury World you’ll be hooked!”
