Entertainment sights in Cornwall

  1. Minack Theatre & Visitor Centre

    Surely the world's most spectacularly located theatre, the Minack is carved into the cliffs overlooking Porthcurno Bay. The visitor centre recounts the story of Rowena Cade, the indomitable local woman who originally conceived the theatre and oversaw it until her death in 1983

    From the original production in 1929, the Minack has grown into a full-blown theatrical venue, with a 17-week season running from mid-May to mid-September - though aficionados always bring umbrellas and blankets in case the British weather should take centre stage. The centre is closed when there's a matinée.

    Spirit of the West

    Newquay is surrounded by several other family-friendly attractions that'll entertain the kids and have the parents reaching for the hipflask. Weirdest of all, at Spirit of the West near St Columb, dodgily dressed Cornish gunslingers shoot it out around a gin-u-wine Wild West theme park, stables, saloon and all. Yee-ha, pardner. Weird.
