A fun, interactive children’s show about sewage pollution from children’s author, environmental campaigner and adventure mermaid, Lindsey Cole – for ages 4+ and their families


Mermaid needs your help! Her river’s turned a funny colour, something doesn’t smell right, and she can’t find Otter anywhere.

Join real life adventure mermaid Lindsey Cole as she goes on a quest to find her best friend and help her save her river. Expect audience participation, games, lo fi puppetry, interactive punk songs and a whole dump of fun.

Lindsey Cole really is a mermaid and swims long distances in her tail campaigning to save our rivers and seas. She’s swum the length of the Bristol Avon towing a poo sculpture and became the first mermaid to swim across the Bristol Channel. She once ended up on page 3 of a national tabloid because she rescued a drowning cow whilst mermaiding the length of the River Thames, which is how she became a children’s author. She’s written and illustrated two children’s books and visits schools sharing her stories.
