The Minack is built on a cliff side. It includes lots of steps.
Parts of the theatre are steep, and the terraces are grass covered. We advise visitors to wear sensible footwear.

•There is access for wheelchairs and disabled visitors to the top levels of the site, including the cafe, shop, toilets and exhibition. There is a balcony with great views over the theatre and the bay. Due to the terrain, there is no disabled access to the stage or the lower levels of the auditorium.  See our Accessibility page for more information.

For public safety and safety of the infant, wheeled buggies and other infant seating (such as car seats) are not admitted to the theatre for performances or visits. We recommend that babies are carried around the theatre in slings and carriers.

Dogs on leads are welcome during visiting hours. We regret that no dogs other than guide dogs are admitted to performances.

Our seating is on concrete or grass. You may wish to bring a cushion or rug to sit on. We sell folding padded seats for performances. These are not available to hire.

Hot and cold drinks and light refreshments are on sale in the theatre. You are welcome to bring your own picnic if you are coming to a show.  
Alcohol is not sold in the theatre, but you're welcome to bring your own to a show.

The Minack faces South East. Daytime performances can be very hot, we recommend bringing a hat for comfort. 

Even after a hot day, the theatre can get cold once the sun drops. Bring a coat or a rug to keep warm at night.

The use of umbrellas is not permitted during performances, in consideration of other audience members.

In common with standard theatre practice, money is only refunded if a performance is cancelled.
