10am – Meet a mermaid
For: Children and families
Hosted by: The Sea Sanctuary Team

Join the Sea Sanctuary team for a morning of magic as we come together and write down our wishes and what we’re grateful for (things that we really like or love in life) and decorate our own special seashells as a  gift to the mermaids! 

The mermaids will collect your shells, and swim them out to sea, where they will be displayed in a magical cave for all the sea creatures and merpeople to look at. Who knows, maybe this special gift will help them be happier and see how magical life can be…..
