The Minack Theatre’s 2026 season runs from April to October, with performances staged on one of the most dramatic settings in British theatre - a cliff-top amphitheatre carved into the granite above Porthcurno Bay, with the Atlantic Ocean as its backdrop.
The season opens on 3 April with “Giants” and runs through to late October. The 2026 programme includes a mix of musicals, classical drama, opera, comedy, and family shows. Notable productions include Fisherman’s Friends (26-27 April), Come From Away (25-29 May), Romeo and Juliet (15-18 June), Dear Evan Hansen (27-31 July), and Goodnight Mister Tom (17 August to 1 September).
Evening performances typically start at 8pm, with the setting sun over the sea providing natural lighting effects that no indoor theatre can match. Matinee performances run through the summer for families and those who prefer daylight. The theatre seats around 750 in its tiered stone auditorium, and every seat has an ocean view.
Tickets are available through the Minack website and sell fast for popular shows. The theatre is at the end of a narrow lane, and parking fills quickly - arriving at least an hour before curtain is recommended. Bring warm layers and a cushion; the stone seats and coastal breeze cool down after sunset even in midsummer.
