The Minack Theatre and Visitor Centre
The Minack Theatre and Visitor Centre, Porthcurno, Penzance, Cornwall, TR19 6JU.
The Minack Theatre was the inspiration and life’s work of one remarkable woman, Rowena Cade.
Since 1998, the sub-tropical rockeries have become a must for gardeners with a taste for the exotic. The ideas and plant selection are based on the cliff garden developed here by Rowena Cade in the 1930s.
The Rowena Cade exhibition centre portrays the remarkable story of Rowena Cade. The story of a girl who enjoyed the gentility of Victorian Cheltenham and grew up to build an internationally famous cliffside theatre with her own hands.
Visitors can discover the story of how a local village play in 1929 led to the seventeen week summer season now staged in the Minack’s 750 seat fully equipped auditorium. They can enjoy the wealth of photographs, models and audio-visual displays.
