Where do I sit?

The Minack is not like other theatres. Our seating is on either grass or concrete terraces. If the performance staging permits, a few tickets are available for members of the audience to sit on the stage.

Our auditorium is very steep and there are a lot of steps. If you are unsure about where to sit, please phone and we'll be very happy to help you. You can also check out the photos below to see the view from various parts of the auditorium.

We have an accessible balcony for those with limited mobility. If you have other seating requirements, please phone to discuss your needs.

An induction loop is available on the grass terraces and in the accessible balcony.

If you have a group booking, it is helpful if you all arrive together so that we can seat you next to each other.
