The Arts - Theatre in Falmouth

Falmouth Arts Centre is changing. The Poly, as it is affectionately known by local people, has been revamped with creative and practical initiatives. The centre has changed its trusty seating, installed in the 1960s, and replaced the chairs with new, more comfortable seats in a re-raked auditorium, to provide increased leg room. The centre continues to stage an exciting range of foreign and arthouse films, as well as Hollywood blockbusters and movies for young people, programmed by Kate Rogers.

Another exciting development is the new Digital Lounge where experimental Cornish and independent films may be enjoyed in a laid-back environment.

Alongside all this, the centre continues with its commitment to top-notch live events of the highest standard, from international artists in the arenas of theatre, traditional and world music, dance, and classical music, as well as a varied range of talks and lectures.
