Information

Be prepared ...

If you’ve not visited Minack previously, here are some tips that may help you….

  • The Minack is built on a cliff side. Entry is at your own risk.
  • The site is steep and includes many steps. 
  • Surfaces may be slippery in wet weather, we advise you to wear sensible footwear.
  • There is no step free access to the stage or the lower levels of the auditorium. See Access page
  • Auditorium seating is on turf or concrete, you may wish to bring a cushion or rug to sit on.
  • Matinees can be very hot, we suggest you wear a hat for comfort and bring sun cream.
  • It can get cold quickly in the evening, bring warm clothing even if the day has been hot.
  • Wheeled buggies and other infant seating are not admitted at any time for safety reasons.
  • Performances are only cancelled in extreme conditions, we do play in the rain!
  • No dogs (except guide dogs) will be admitted to performances.  At other times, well-behaved dogs on short leads are welcome.
