We aim to make our site available to everyone as far as we can, however the steep, rocky geography of the Minack does create some access limitations. If you have concerns or questions about access please contact us and we will help in any way we can.
Our Access Facilities
We have ramped access to all the visitor facilities on the site, however the main auditorium and stage are only accessible via long flights of steps.
Our car park has accessible parking bays adjacent to the theatre entrance and there is a ramp for wheelchair access to the visitor centre. Within the site there is ramped access to the exhibition centre and café, and there is an accessible toilet.
If you’re coming to a performance and would like to use the accessible balcony please call our Box Office on +44 (0)1736 810181. Spaces are limited, so please book as early as possible.
A hearing loop is available in the Lower Terraces and on our Accessible Balcony.
We can also provide Assistive Hearing Headsets, suitable for users with or without hearing aids, who may need a little extra boost from our sound.
Due to space limitations, public safety and safety of the infant, wheeled buggies and other infant seating (such as car seats) cannot be admitted to the theatre for performances and visits. We recommend that babies are carried around the theatre in slings and carriers.
Please call the box office or email [email protected] for more details.
Admission for Carers
We offer a ‘no questions’ free ticket for anyone who needs to bring a carer with them in order to access our site (as visitors or audience). We do not ask for proof or any justification for this and these tickets are not limited to specific areas of the auditorium
BSL Signed Performances
BSL signing is provided free of charge on selected performances at the Minack. If you or a member of your party would like to book for a BSL signed performance, please contact the Box Office.
Audio Described Performances
Audio description is available by arrangement on selected performances. If you or a member of your party would like to request audio description, please contact the Box Office at the time of booking and we’ll be in touch to confirm your request and answer any questions you may have about this service.
