What a great place to visit. We had not been to the Minack Theatre before and so when in the area took the opportunity. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we found out interesting facts on this unusual theatre. Our aim is to revisit when they are performing a play. To top of the visit we were able to watch Basking Sharks in the bay!

You don't see many amphitheatres like the Minack one. The history of it fascinating. They still put on shows till this day. Before the theatre on the left you can also visit the PK Porthcurno a museum explaining the dawn of wireless science. When shows are on the tigh little road is very busy and the parking lots get full very quickly. You can also get to the beach beneath the theatre going down on rock steps, the sand is nice. Next to the shop is a small cafe-restaurant with great food at acceptable price, but the view over the water is worth it.

I had the pleasure of going to see a play at the Minack Theatre. What a stunning view of the water in the background. It was such a wonderful experience even though there was a short rain shower. I hope to get to go there again someday.

Absolutely amazing place with breathtaking views and surroundings. A place you must visit if you are in Cornwall. Tickets are also reasonably priced with plenty of parking space along with a picnic area too.

It's a beautiful place, with such an amazing array of scenic views, especially on a Sunday day. It's immaculately kept, in terms of gardens and the like (no rubbish) and the facilities were good quality. The theatre was very impressive, and the talk was entertaining and informative. Would recommend anyone go, not just to see a show, but to just see such a marvel.

Beautifully crafted amphitheater made out of stone. The place is amazing and is worth 10 for the show and photos. You get a lot of photo opportunities and the views are mesmerizing. The parking comes free and if you can walk down to the nearest beach from here which may become tricky for elderly. You can also watch plays in the evening which may cost upto 16. Note: Please book in advance via their website

Stunning amphitheater carved into the Cornish cliff, looking over the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Superb venue to watch a production or music performance, either in the day or early evening, as the sun sinks behind you, casting a spectacular effect on the stage. Even a visit to the Minack, without a show, is a must as you take in the view and muse about the many people braving all weathers whilst watching musicians or actors tread the boards (well, stone slabs). Ideal place to visit, when quiet, but brilliant with a show. The closest theatre to Land's End.
