Best Days Out Cornwall

When: April 7 - April 20 2025

The Mermaid of Zennor

Written by John Brolly
Music by Ben Sutcliffe
A Minack Theatre production featuring members of the Minack Youth Theatre

7 – 10, 13 – 18 and 20 April at 4pm 

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

A school visit to Zennor church has turned into chaos, as children and teacher are 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 fizzing with energy, songs and fun 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.
