Pirate and Queen

Pirate and Queen We've set up this page to let you know about our projects and events, including Verb Wellington (www.verbwellington.nz), Lōemis festival (www.loemis.nz)

Pirate & Queen is Andrew Laking and Claire Mabey. We started P&Q when we got the first LitCrawl up and running in 2014. Since then, we've started Lōemis festival (held every June) and upscaled LitCrawl to become Verb Festival (held every November). We make events that feed the people and the pirates alike.
