HOLY COW! is inspired by the story of St. Decuman, Watchet's now-beloved patron saint, and his cow. Famously, St Decuman travelled from Wales intent on converting the heathens of Watchet... (SPOILER: he wasn't well received and lost his head in the process!). But this isn’t our story. Our retelling of this local legend sees Decuman and his cow lose each other in the fabled Bristol Triangle, each being propelled on a separate journey through time and Watchet’s rich history. Come see the pirates and poets, landowners and landlubbers, seafarers and shantymen, as our two lost souls work their way through 1,316 years to find each other again.

This performance is the finale to Watchet's Maritime Mayhem weekend. Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the project will also result in new permanent displays to be held at the Boat Museum and at East Quay as well as a series of animated films to keep the stories alive into the future.
