Discover the magic of the Minack

Your visit ticket gives you the freedom to explore one of Cornwall’s most iconic destinations. Wander through our stunning cliffside theatre, the vibrant gardens within, the fascinating exhibition and relax in our welcoming café.

This is a self-guided experience, perfect for taking things at your own pace. Looking for something extra? Check out What’s On for guided tours, storytelling and unforgettable performances.

Please note: The Minack is a dramatic cliffside setting with steps and uneven surfaces, and it’s open to the elements. In wet weather, paths may be slippery. Unfortunately, due to the natural terrain, there is no step-free access to the stage or lower auditorium levels. For full details, visit our Accessibility page.
