Visit The Minack by day and explore this unique open-air theatre created from the cliffside at Porthcurno by Rowena Cade.
Enjoy the spectacular views over Porthcurno bay to the Logan Rock. The Rowena Cade exhibition tells the remarkable story of how a girl who enjoyed the gentility of Victorian Cheltenham grew up to build this internationally famous theatre.
It shows how a local village play in 1929 led to the summer season now staged in the Minack’s 750-seat auditorium. Enjoy the wealth of photographs, models and audio-visual displays. Explore the theatre, be surprised by sub-tropical plants, relax in the coffee shop overlooking the theatre and soak up the magic of the Minack.
Theatre-goers: The summer season of plays, opera and musicals runs from May to September.
The comprehensive website gives full details of the summer programme, on-line booking during the season and everything else you need to know about the Minack.

St Michael's Mount in the beautiful setting of Mount’s Bay at Penzance is dedicated to the archangel St Michael who, according to legend, appeared here in 495.
Edward the Confessor founded a chapel on the Mount in 1044 in a grant to the Benedictine Abbey of Mont Saint Michael in Brittany.
In 12th century when Richard I was on Crusade a group of John's supporters seized the Mount to hold as a fortress. It reverted to monastic use but was treated again as a stronghold in the Wars of the Roses and the Cornish Rebellion against Edward VI.
During the Civil War the Mount was held for the King but surrendered to the Parliamentarians in 1646. In 1660 the Mount was bought by Sir John St Aubyn and since that time it has had a peaceful existence.
The Mount remained mostly unoccupied, except for occasional use during the summer months, until the late 18th century when the family began to set up a more permanent residence.
Despite the difficulties of building on a great rock cut off at every high tide the family constructed a great new wing. The impressive Victorian apartments are decorated with fine plaster reliefs and contain some Chippendale furniture.
There are also collections of paintings and armour. The Mount remained in the ownership of the St Aubyn family until 1964 when it was given to the National Trust by the 3rd Lord St Levan.
St Michael’s Mount is open all the year.
