Mermaid grotto
Meet a mermaid
Don’t miss the mermazing Mermaid grotto in the The Shipyard Market.
It works a bit like a Santa’s grotto except every little two legger will get to spend a few minutes chatting to some real life mermaids! (as well as some very friendly fairies).
We’ll open at 9:30am and close the queue at 11:30am. It gets very busy later on - so be early to make sure you don’t miss out.
It’ll cost £5 for a visit or £10 with a small gift (whilst stocks last - gifts only suitable for ages 4+ due to small parts). We can take cash or card payments and donations will be made from the profits to Cornwall Mind and Porthleven Arts Community.
