Secondary schools and beyond
Activities and programmes for secondary school children
Year 8 and Year 10 workshops
Your free 2-hour workshop will include a backstage tour of the theatre, an introduction to the legacy of Rowena Cade and a series of theatre skills games. The sessions are designed to support the school curriculum and can be tailored to suit your programme of study e.g. Vikings, local history, specific plays and drama techniques. Aimed to facilitate the development of a love for theatre and performance. Working in small groups with experienced practitioners, you will create and perform your own short play on the Minack stage (for class sizes of approx. 30 children).
These sessions can also be held in school to suit your timetable.
Minack Academies
For students with a particular passion or interest in musical theatre, acting, technical theatre or event planning, why not direct them to see what our Minack Academies have to offer!
Shakespeare
Our Shakespeare workshops and festivals are offered for free to schools across Cornwall. They can be delivered within schools or at the Minack Theatre. These events give young people a chance to explore Shakespeare’s works and create their own performances. Read more about our Shakespeare programme here.
You can also plan your own visit to the Theatre to explore the site, the history and the exhibition centre. Some visitor slots include free performances from 'Billy Rawlings' Rowena Cade's head gardener. Check our events calendar for dates and times. We also have an activity booklet for young people to complete as they walk around the site!

Every workshop and creative opportunity we offer is free, made possible by visitor income and donations. With your support, we can keep inspiring young minds, nurturing local talent, and sharing the joy of theatre with everyone.
