What is in an under-the-sea package?
An under-the-sea theme turns a room into an ocean: mermaids at the entrance, jellyfish and octopus characters roaming the crowd, aerial acts overhead and a sea god with a fire trident for the finale.
It is one of the most photographed themes we offer and works for summer parties, product launches, charity galas and pool parties.

Tips from our team
- 1
Light it blue
Ask your AV team for blue and teal uplighting and the performers do the rest.
- 2
Use the pool
At venues with a pool or water feature, mermaids make the perfect focal point.
- 3
Plan a reveal
Hold a fire trident moment back for the finale when the lights drop.
Frequently asked questions
Can mermaids perform in a pool?
Some can. Tell us about the venue's pool and we will check suitability, safety and the venue's rules before confirming.
Is the under-the-sea theme family friendly?
It can be. We choose the acts and costumes to suit your audience, from family fun days to evening galas.
How much do under-the-sea performers cost in the UK?
There is no one fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Send us your date, venue and timings and we will come back with a clear quote, usually the same day.
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.
Can the performers match our theme or brand colours?
Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.
Do you work with our venue and event team?
Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.
