Did you ever go to Silversands
On a sunny day?
Then perhaps you saw the mermaid
Who sang in the deep blue bay...
This Christmas join the singing mermaid, who is tempted away to join a travelling circus, with the promise of a life of excitement (and her own swimming pool!). The audiences love her singing but she soon finds out she’s been tricked by the dastardly circus master. Will she ever escape? And who will help her along the way?
With three skilled performers, beautiful puppetry and music and songs by Barb Jungr (We’re Going on a Bear Hunt), Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks’ hugely popular story comes to the stage. A perfect Christmas treat for all the family!
a fun warm-hearted adventure that will leave you humming its songs and wanting to hug a seagull”
