The Minack Theatre is the most famous cliffside theatre in Britain, possibly in the world, carved into the granite cliff overlooking the spectacular panorama of Porthcurno Bay.
Our summer season of plays and musicals runs for seventeen weeks from May to September. The Rowena Cade Visitor Centre tells the remarkable story of how a girl from the Victorian Cheltenham grew up to build this internationally famous Theatre with her own hands. Visit during the day, explore the Theatre and relax in our cafe, overlooking the Theatre and soak up the magic that is Minack.

OPEN: ALL YEAR except Christmas and Boxing day.
