Talk Like A Pirate Day is never long enough. Keep on yar-in' (me hearties) with One More Shant': a talk like a pirate day special event.

Sing your heart out with old favourites and new songs, warmed by mulled w**e in the cosy atmosphere at Speakeasy Theatre on Flinders Street.

Bring your first mates, dress in your pirate best, and set your course to Melbourne's newest Shanty Night.

Free entry all night (and drink tokens for best dressed!)

Wednesday 23rd September, 7-10pm
