One of The Beacon Museum’s most successful exhibitions is set to make a comeback.

Return of the Pirates will run at the harbourside attraction from this week until January 22.

Pirates of the Beacon Museum had a successful run over the summer, with families flocking to the interactive exhibition.

And now the immersive experience is back. Visitors can experience a 'Treasure Island Adventure', explore the ‘Parrot Jungle’, take a selfie whilst 'hanging the jib', dress up as a pirate, steer the ship and raise the Jolly Roger flag.

Copeland Council's portfolio holder for The Beacon Museum, councillor Steven Morgan, said: "We're delighted that the pirates are back. The exhibition - which was entirely designed and curated by our own Beacon staff - was extremely popular during the summer.

"I think many families who missed it first time around will want to book a ticket, and those who did experience it will undoubtedly want to come again. Any budding buccaneers will be kept entertained all day with the activities and exhibits - and there's the whole of the rest of the museum to explore too. It would also make a fantastic, family-friendly Christmas day out."
