Pirate party - recommendations?

Hello, I'm throwing my son a pirate party. Has anyone seen any cheap pirate party supplies anywhere? Looking for Poundland / Tesco sort of prices, but can't seem to find that particular theme in the obvious stores. Hosting for around 40+ people, so looking for cost-effective. Thanks!

Do you use Amazon?

They have a lot of pirate party supplies. www.amazon.co.uk/Pirate-Birthday-Party-Supplies/s?k=Pirate+Birthday+Party+Supplies

Thanks! Yes, I've looked on Amazon, eBay, Vinted, Marketplace, loads of random websites etc, but none are as cheap as Tesco or Poundland or Asda etc. Because I need to cater for around 40 people, the bundles on Amazon work out quite expensive. Thank you though.

Came to say this www.bakerross.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=Pirate

They've even got the plates, cups and napkins

Many thanks. Looks lovely, but more than double the price of Tescos etc and will cost £50 for plates etc 😱 Asda/Tesco would be more like £20. I'll keep looking. Thanks for trying!

As an eco friendly and cheap suggestion, one thing that’s good for a pirate party is to fill a small paddling pool or even a wheelbarrow with play sand and bury treasures in it. You can put crayons/ hot wheels / bags of sweets etc in the sand and get the kids to roll a dice, they get that many ‘digs’ with a small spade or big spoon. When they reveal something they get to keep it. Bury one treasure each, and eliminate each kid when they win something so they all get a gift. That way they all have something in hand to take home and you don't have to do actual party bags?
Maldonado pirate themed party table wear on the cheap could be some pineapples and a couple of plastic parrots, use plain white cups and plates but pirate map napkins ! They’ve got awesome ones on Amazon.

*maldonado= and also. My phone hates me. Don’t overthink it, some pirate stuff plus blue/ tropical island stuff should do it.

Have you asked on Freecycle and the like?
