CAPTAIN Jack and his band of Sparrow crew mates turned the Alhambra into a pirate party at the weekend as more than 100 children stopped to join in and create pirate hats and eye patches.
The event was the first of a series of children's clubs which will see many different characters brought to the shopping centre over the coming year.
Special guest at the party was birthday boy Owen Grosse who turned six years old.
Owen, who got to meet his hero Captain Jack, was accompanied by his sister Lily-May Atree. She will celebrate her ninth birthday just before the next club which is a prince and princess academy on February 14.
