A place like no other, the world-famous Minack Theatre is a must-see for visitors to Cornwall.
Perched on rugged cliffs overlooking the spectacular panorama of Porthcurno Bay, you might think ancient Greeks had carved it from the granite. In fact, less than a century ago it was a rough gully of gorse and heather dropping dizzily down to the sea.
Today, you can discover the extraordinary story of Rowena Cade, the woman behind its creation and experience the magic of live performance in this iconic space.
The Minack stages a full programme of live performances throughout the year. Visitors are welcome to explore the dramatic site and enjoy the glorious sub-tropical gardens when there is no performance.
The Minack is very popular and advance booking is essential for performances and visits.
