Early Bird offer - Book by 12 Jan & pay this year's prices!*
Far out in the ocean, deep beneath the waves, is a colourful kingdom bursting with flowing flowers, glittering shells and flittering fish. The Little Mermaid, daughter of the Sea King, eagerly awaits her fifteenth birthday – the day she sees the world above the surface for the very first time.
The Little Mermaid discovers a world of twinkling lights, crashing waves, and jolly music. Drawn towards a ship, she rescues a young man with dark eyes and two prop legs, instead of a shimmering tail.
Longing to join him, the Little Mermaid’s thoughts stray to the world above the sea, as she dreams of life on land. Confronted by a deal with the scheming Sea Witch, the Little Mermaid must choose whether she's willing to risk everything in the pursuit of love.
This new Watermill production of The Little Mermaid weaves together salty sea air, folk and sea shanty inspired songs and an ethereal world below the waves for Christmas 2025.
