"A cult, camp 90s classic! Mermaids effortlessly straddles the line between feel-good family story and coming-of-age melodrama, spanning mother-daughter angst, inappropriate Catholic devotion, and agonising adolescent sexual awakenings.

This month, on Friday 22nd of May, we will be watching the iconic 90s coming of age ‘Mermaids’, winner of our Instagram poll!
Cher, Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci absolutely shine in this underrated ’90s coming-of-age gem, where the real magic is the electric, messy, and deeply relatable bond between mother and daughter.
In 1963, the unconventional Mrs. Flax (Cher) and her daughters teenage Charlotte (Winona Ryder) and young Kate (Christina Ricci) arrive in small town New England. Mrs Flax is prone to moving her family somewhere new whenever a romantic relationship ends. But could the arrival of kind-hearted Lou lead to a permanent stop for the family?
This screening is a party to celebrate the start of the summer! Expect party refreshments, good vibes and maybe some dancing!
