a.m.—5 p.m.
It’s traditional seaside entertainment with something for everyone of
all ages to enjoy.
Merlin Cadogan, one of the finalists in “Britain’s Got Talent” this
year, will perform a stunt, which involves juggling with fire while
escaping from a 10’ chain with his head inside a diving helmet filled
with water. Here’s a chance to see Merlin’s live performance at the
Maritime Festival.. Stiltskin Theatre Company present the giant
sea creatures "Those Peshky Pishkies". Dressed in their fantastic,
fishy, finnery, they will shimmer and shimmy on any street corner during
their exploration of dry land. Meet Ebb'nFlo who has the gift of the
guppy and will talk your fishy head off. But beware; they like to take
home souvenirs and whilst you are lured into Ebb'nFlo's fishy
flippancies, Naughtycus will make a catch. You may be lucky, however and
get some precious sea sparkles in return!
The day is packed with attractions including Punch & Judy, shanty
singers, street theatre and there will also be local stalls. You can
also enjoy delicious, seafood platters with a complimentary glass of
champagne in the Harbour Restaurant or a succulent hog roast on the
beach. For more information Tel: 01237 431781
