New Venue & Stage Name for Festival

We are pleased to announce that our great friends, Harding Evans, Solicitors, will be teaming up with their newest neighbours to present The Harding Evans Stage at The Queens Academy for the weekend of Pirates in the Port.

It’s good to know where to turn when the world throws you a curve-ball. Harding Evans are a full-service law firm, who provide advice to both individuals and businesses. From conveyancing and personal injury, family law and wills & probate, clinical negligence and care, right through to commercial, employment law and dispute resolution the specialist teams at Harding Evans provide clear, honest and high-quality legal advice in an environment that is approachable, inclusive and welcoming.

The Queens Academy is Newport's newest music venue, housed within the historic Queens Hotel in the heart of Newport and which opened this month as a 500 seater venue rivalling the Corn Exchange and The Riverfront Theatre in size and ambition. The Queen's Academy is the brainchild of former Newport County footballer Darren Jones and music promoter Paul Divers and has a full calendar of music acts booked through 2026.

We are delighted to have both Harding Evans and The Queens Academy on board with Pirates in the Port in 2026.
