What does a mermaid performer do?

Mermaid performers wear full mermaid tails and costumes and pose, interact and create photo moments. Some perform on a set or by a pool, and some in water where the venue allows it.

They are the centrepiece of under-the-sea themes and a magical surprise at pool parties, summer events and launches.

  • Pool parties

    The perfect focal point by the water.

  • Under-the-sea themes

    The heart of the theme.

  • Family events

    Magical for children and adults.

  • Welcome moments

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Build a set

  2. 2

    Check the pool rules

    In-water performances depend on the venue's rules and pool safety. We check first.

How much do mermaids cost in Canary Wharf?

Can mermaids swim at our venue?

Sometimes. It depends on the pool, safety and the venue's rules, which we check before confirming.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.
