A stage carved into the cliff
The Minack is a theatre unlike any other: terraces and gardens step down a granite cliff above the bright water of Porthcurno Bay.
Visit for a performance or a daytime theatre-and-garden walk, then leave time for the beach and coast path.

Plan your visit
Book before travelling
Check the official programme, admission and performance availability before you set off.
Allow time for the site
The theatre, gardens and cliffside views reward more than a quick photograph.
Plan travel and parking
The approach is narrow and steep in places, particularly around busy arrival times.
Add Porthcurno Bay
Pair the theatre with the beach, village and the surrounding coast path for a fuller day.
