Fantastic views, interesting history and an amazing beach down a steep climb (which is free to enter). Well worth the £3.50 entry fee, and well worth seeing a play there if you can grab a ticket! This is my favourite attraction in Cornwall - you must visit. more

We visited on a grim day but to be honest the weather was insignificant to the beauty of this site. The roads are a bit narrow to get there but once there it is quite an amazing site. It is relatively cheap to get in only £3.50 per adult. It is hard to imagine how this wonderful Theatre was built... more

Stunning.

An absolutely beautiful place to visit, to see a show or not. We spent a morning there in gorgeous sunshine and were enthralled by the story of how it came to be, by the brilliant Rowena Cade and then watched a Basking shark in the water below. A perfect morning spent and we're very much looking forward to visiting a... more

I went to the Minack Theatre on an overcast April evening, to see a production of Anything Goes, by the youth theatre company, Kidz R Us from St Ives in Cornwall. I booked coach travel and a ticket to the show through the Oates Travel company in St Ives, where I was staying. This was very good value - £18... more

I have, over the years, visited many ampitheatres but nothing quite as spectacular as the theatre at Minack. Like a traditional ampitheatre the seats are carved into the side of a hill and from these there are spectacular views over Porthcurno Bay. We visited the theatre on a sunny September afternoon and spent a good couple of hours wandering around... more

We went to see a matinee of Hamlet on a hot day in July 2006. The Minnack Theatre is built right next to the sea in the style of a greek amplitheatre. They show a variety of plays by amateur & professional acting groups. Tickets get booked up well in advance so make sure you are organised! You can visit... more
