Did you know that a mermaid lived in Strangford Lough, many years ago? She lived close to Mahee Island and used to sing to the monks in the local monastery, luring them out sea.

Come along to this relaxing workshop and find out more about this tale, and through more stories and fun crafts you might even find your own 'inner mermaid.'

This will be a fun, creative workshop, no experience needed, and all equipment and materials will be provided.

Suitable for age 12+ and all under 18's to be accompanied by an adult.

There will be a maximum of 6 in the class – why not treat yourself and a friend?

Tea, coffee and homemade cakes or scones are included in the cost of the workshop, which is based at Kiri Cottage Crafts workshop, close to the shores of Strangford Lough.
