Real Mermaids Aquarium Performance

Mermaid performers are the perfect way to add a touch of real magic to any aquarium. All our mermaids are experienced at swimming and performing alongside sharks and other sea-life, as well as meeting and greeting children, signing autographs and posing for photographs to ensure that their visit to the aquarium is completely unforgettable. We can also offer a unique range of further performance options, including cabaret performance, interactive story-telling, and much more...

Why choose mermaids?

Whether swimming in your main tank, performing on land for enchanted children, or both, mermaids are a huge attraction for any aquarium – and the perfect way to increase your visitor numbers, entice guests to a special ticketed event, or offer as an optional add-on for corporate or private functions.

Merlesque can work with you to maximise visitor numbers for your event, through advance social media collaboration and press releases, at no extra cost.

Why Merlesque Mermaids? 

"I heartily recommend Merlesque for their incredible professionalism and dexterity under water. Their performance at Blue Planet Aquarium will long be remembered by the thousands who saw them.”
​
Phil Jones, Sales & Marketing Executive at Blue Planet Aquarium

Merlesque Mermaids Limited Liability Partnership is the oldest and most established mermaid performance company in the UK. Our experience performing at aquarium events means we can assist you in completing risk assessments and identifying the best timetable and performance arrangements to maximise the impact for your guests on the day.

All our mermaids hold full public liability insurance and freedive insurance.
​
Our mermaids are experienced freedivers with excellent breath-holds and experience performing underwater in aquariums with sharks and other large sealife: both dynamic “swim past” performance, and static freedive performance. Our mermaids also have both underwater performance and underwater modelling experience.

Unlike smaller companies, we can offer bookings for 2 (or more!) mermaid performers, meaning that rest breaks can be co-ordinated to ensure that performances are conducted continuously throughout the day.

We can offer unique extra performance options by arrangement, including:

  • A family-friendly 10 or 15 minute cabaret act (or our standard cabaret act for grown-up events) ;
  • Interactive storytelling sessions of 20 or 30 minutes;
  • Sing-a-long sessions for children;
  • Meet-and-greet and photo opportunities;
  • Arts and crafts sessions (activities will depend on childrens' ages).

If you’re unsure about which options are right for your event, we’re more than happy to discuss and advise.
 ​
By arrangement (and depending on time considerations) we can even offer to write and perform a unique song about your aquarium/your star sealife, for children to learn on the day.

Merlesque mermaids have a wide range of high-quality costume options (including Hollywood-grade full silicone/sequin tails), which means we can flex to your requirements on the day in terms of quick changes, transfer into ‘dry’ areas, ease of transportation around the site, etc.

Our mermaids are experienced professionals who are friendly, fun, easy to work with, and flexible. Our aim is always to ensure that organising and running your mermaid event is as stress-free as possible!

What do our customers say?

So, you've heard what we have to say... but you don't have to just rely on our word! Here are a couple of testimonials from aquariums we've worked with:
Blue Planet Aquarium
Phil Jones, Sales & Marketing Exec.

“We booked Demi and Mairead from Merlesque to headline our Mermaid Weekend over the bank holiday weekend in August. What a successful weekend we had - both of the mermaids were fantastic, free diving in our massive shark filled tank. The children watching from our shark tunnels stood in awe! Then all the children had the chance to meet and be photographed with the mermaids in our reception area.

I heartily recommend Merlesque for their incredible professionalism and dexterity under water. Their performance at Blue Planet Aquarium will long be remembered by the thousands who saw them.”
Deep Sea World Aquarium:

“We hired the Merlesque mermaids to take part in our Mermaid event. The event had one mermaid diving in our Underwater Safari aquarium exhibit with our seven sand tiger sharks, and the other mermaid was meeting the public in our tropical rock pool. Both mermaids were friendly and professional throughout the event.  They proved very popular with our visitors and the children particularly enjoyed meeting them in the rock pool.   One of our rock pool fishes also took a real liking to them – charming the fish too, always a bonus in an aquarium!”
