Disappointing that google doesn't have opening or closing times.Unfortunately the Minack Theatre was closed on the day we visited.Still plenty to see & do awesome views from the cliff side overlooking the ocean.Definitely recommend doing a small hike or 2, check out the ocean from the cliff sides, you will be amazed, while taking in some fresh air.

Fantastic venue, it really is sublime.It's terribly uncomfortable if you end up in a bad spot, or have some issues sitting on rock. We had cushions etc but still it was difficult for my back.There are many, many steep steps and trips are of course possible.They complete every show unless the weather is dangerously bad. That's impressive. However it can get rather chilly after the sun has gone. Take a blanket and anything else if the weather seems even a bit inclement. If it seems nice at home/camp it will be worse there.Bring a picnic, beer, wine, bubbles, whatever you wish, just take all the waste away.We saw 'The Breath' and its worth checking them out too.Every staff member is super helpful regarding being seated. There was a small coffee shop available with bare minimum supplies, so do take your own for now until the renovation ends on the bar - restaurant.Definitely worth a visit.

We (Family of 4 - Girls are 11 and 13) had a great time here. We watched a show @ 10:30 about a lonely lighthouse keeper. Very entertaining, lots of audience involvement. The views are amazing - The photos do not do the views justice - You need to go and see them. We highly recommend.

Stunning place, it was on my top list to visit while being in Cornwall! However, booking is essential, we came here not being aware off it, but parking staff explained us they're preparing for an evening show and offered us booking online so we did that and came next morning. Be aware that lanes are very narrow to drive, place is not suitable for people with mobility issues too. Staff member downstairs was very friendly and told interesting stories about the place. Really magical atmosphere!

We went to see a one-man show on a beautiful Monday afternoon and were absolutely blown away. Not only was the performance captivating, but the setting was truly spectacular.Situated with the ocean as its backdrop, this amphitheater offers a breathtaking scenery that enhances any performance. The natural beauty of the surroundings seamlessly blended with the artistry on stage, creating an unforgettable experience. If you have the opportunity to catch a show here, don't miss it.

Utterly spectacular experience, watching the sun go down over a funny lighthearted play.Take a cushion, a blanket and a snack!It gets very chilly when the sun goes down and the stone chairs are cold and hard.There is a place where you can grab food and drink but they had little left by the time we made it to the front of the queue.

A really special place! Had no idea about the history or how beautiful it actually would be but wow it really is breathtaking and managed to go on a good day in October! A bit expensive for drinks in the hut but it is very isolated and a lot of steps to run stock up and down from! Would definitely recommend going if you can! The museum was really worthwhile too

Totally blown away by the performance here. It gets to the root of your soul. Easy parking, booking essential to guarantee your place. Take time to fully immerse yourself. Scot Mark was simply incredible telling the story of Billy

One of the best tourist spots in Cornwall. Parking lot is available and easy to found. All staff were so nice polite and friendly. There were comedy show when i was visiting. No life, steps only. Dog friendly. Don’t miss their museum. Nice to hang around 1-2 hours. Buy and book ticket in advance. Highly recommended!!

It's an amazing build and what a great idea. It has many steps to go up and down the theatre, but worth it. The views are stunning in every direction. If we are down there again, we will be booking a show as it must be something else to see while sitting on the side of the cliffs?
