Young people in Sturminster Marshall will be able to enjoy some live entertainment during half term.

Courtesy of Artsreach, renowned stand-up poet and low fidelity theatre maker Jonny Fluffypunk will present a new little show for families, with poetry, puppetry, story and song on Saturday 30 October.

At the end of a soon-to-be-closed-down pier in a forgotten seaside town, Pierre the pier handyman spends the last weeks as he always does: catching fish for his old bedridden mother and making strange and wonderful things from the rubbish he finds on the beach. Then who should wash into his life but a homeless mermaid with a spiky attitude and a story to tell.
