Granny Pearl started life as a character in a SONG
Much later I developed a live THEATRE SHOW for very young children, 'Granny Pearl- A Magical Tale of the Sea!' which takes the story of Granny Pearl and fills it with live music,
puppetry, storytelling and play.
Next performance:
25th October 2025
Front Room,
Weston Super Mare
The lockdown in 2020 meant live performances could not take place. Instead, I adapted Granny Pearl for the screen in the form of a children's WEB SERIES on YouTube.
You can scroll down to watch all current episodes of
'Granny Pearl' and download templates for art activities.
You can also meet Granny Pearl on one of her
Families can rockpool, get busy with crafty activities and share their discoveries and creativity with Granny Pearl. You can also hear songs and a story or two from Granny Pearl herself, all out in the open on a beautiful beach somewhere....
Our next beach session down in Porthcawl is full but please

Where is 'Granny Pearl' set?
Granny Pearl is set on an island somewhere off the coast of Britain. It is windswept, craggy, with lovely sandy and pebbly beaches, lots of rockpools, tall cliffs and a lighthouse. It is a place full of wildlife and magic!

"Beau and I loved the show- thank you so much. We've not stopped singing Granny Pearl and what I can remember of the Giant Squid Song...'begins with Um and ends in Ella!'.. can't wait for the next show!"

Granny Pearl has been recommended as an activity for intergenerational audiences by Age UK HERE
Granny Pearl loves to talk!
If you are lucky enough to have grandparents, it could be a lovely thing to talk with them and ask them questions about their life. In fact, ask any older person and they will have a lot to talk about.
You can ask them what their memories of childhood are, what it was like growing up and going to school, or like Granny Pearl, maybe they know some really good stories.....
Granny Pearl is 103 years old! She is a mermaid but also, she has been in the world for over a century! People that old, even people who are 60, 70, 80 or 90 may have memories of things you may have never even heard of! And you are experiencing things now that they were never able to experience at your age. There's a lot you could talk about with each other.
If it is difficult for you to see them in person perhaps you could give them a ring and ask them questions over the phone.
Our older generation has seen a lot, knows a lot and will almost certainly love to tell you about it. Make sure you've made time in your calendar for the chat and if you think your older person will likely have a lot to say, perhaps dedicate a whole day to it if you're visiting.
Ask questions, take photos and give each other time. Who knows what special things you'll discover about each other!
