The Fisherman and the Mermaid Performance, 1.30pm Saturday and Sunday in Venue Cymru's foyer.

Be transported by magical puppetry, sea shanties, slippery fish and a flock of bicycle-powered seagulls! It’s ‘all aboard’ with Captain Fillet and his crew, sailing the high seas in search of a massive catch. Out at sea, the crew finding their nets empty and the ocean a mill pond, begin telling salty tales of mermaids, sea creatures and sunken villages. They reminisce about a time when the oceans were bountiful and coastal communities thrived.

This giant puppet show tells of the relationship between fisher folk and their environment. It addresses the very topical issue of diminishing fish stocks in an enchantingly and funny performance.
