Something fishy is going on in the little village of Zennor. 

A school visit to Zennor church has turned into chaos, as the children and the teacher are dragged away from their tour and recruited by a mischievous spirit. What follows is bursting with magic, mystery and mayhem as they all work together to recreate the story of Mathey Trewella and his love for a mermaid. Even the Vicar is carried away in the action as we head down to the depths of the Celtic sea and back up again into the Cornish mist.

This is a show busting with energy, fun and is full of new songs, so sit back and relax while this reimagining of a classic Cornish legend is brought to you by two amazing Cornish professionals and a delightful cast of young performers.

Oh, and just one warning.  Beware the call of the mermaid.
