About this Event
An After-Hours Mermaid Experience at The Beach!
Make a splash after dark as mermaids take over The Beach in a special after-hours, ticketed live performance event for families and young ocean lovers.
On select evenings these summer school holidays, a shimmering shoal of Darling Harbour mermaids will transform The Beach with live performances, mythic storytelling, dress-ups, creative activities, and sparkly face and body art, all presented in a unique evening atmosphere.
Meet the Mermaids
Meet five enchanting mermaids, each with their own whimsical personality — from glamorous singing sirens to curious ocean scientists sharing songs, stories and playful ocean experiments with children.
A Special Ticketed Family Event
This is a limited-capacity, ticketed after-hours experience, designed especially for families and primary-school-aged children looking for a magical evening event during the school holidays. Standard museum tickets do not apply.
Dates: Friday 16, Saturday 17 January
Sessions: 4.30–6pm and 6–7.30pm performances
Each session includes performances and interactive opportunities with each mermaid, free time in our Beach installation, creative activities, dress ups, face sparkles and body art!
This interactive performance is in collaboration with Beeswax and Bottlecaps an independent production house, specializing in circus, vaudeville, and variety. With over 20 years of combined experience, we create innovative, high-energy performances that blend theatrical storytelling with spectacle.
