Through our team of trained freelance creatives we offer a wide range of opportunities for schools and other educational groups, either at the Minack Theatre or within school settings.
We offer a range of workshops, mini-festivals and hands-on learning activities that bring together children and groups of schools to share their work at the Minack.
For more information on our workshops, festivals or schools projects please email [email protected] with your enquiry. Or use the form below to send us your booking.
One of our aims as a Community Interest Organisation is that Rowena Cade's legacy should benefit the West Cornwall community. Providing children with access to the arts and opportunities to explore the arts creatively is a vital part of this and as such all of our schools workshops and festivals are offered for free as part of our Taking Part programme. This is supported by our visitors and theatre programme.
Key information for schools
You can use our booking form to submit your request here.
We want your workshop experience to be the best it can be, so you are welcome to come to the Minack for a free planning visit if this would assist you in making the best of your session. You can meet a member of the Taking Part team and discuss any specific requirements.
Please email [email protected] to book a free planning visit.
Please arrive for your workshop 10 minutes before the start time.
Information on each of our workshops including any costs can be viewed here.
Please ensure that children have suitable clothing and footwear as we aim to be outside wherever possible. This includes wet weather clothing or hats and suncream for warmer weather.
Our accessibility information is here.
If any of your students have any additional support needs that you think will aid our preparation for the workshop, please do let us know. We aim to give every student the best possible experience on the day.
The car park team will direct you on arrival with the parking of your minibuses. The hill and the theatre car park can cater for 16-seater minibuses no longer than 7.4m in length. If you are travelling by coach you will need to alight from the coach in Porthcurno Valley and walk up to the theatre – please see the advised walking route here.
You are welcome to stay and eat your lunch in the theatre before or after your workshop.
Please can you ensure the children have water bottles (we can refill these on site).
