St.Agnes : Local Theatre

There is a strong local interest in theatre. The local theatre group puts on regular performances, either in the Driftwood function room or behind the hotel on the cliffs. The cheery performances are enjoyed by locals and holidaymakers alike.

The Hall For Cornwall in nearby Truro has hosted companies such as Rambert Dance Company and The Royal Shakespeare Company as well as a wide range of entertainers from Bill Wyman and Mike Reid to Coldplay and Wheatus.

The Minack Theatre is the most famous open-air theatre in Britain, possibly in the world; from above it looks as though some wandering Greeks, two thousand years ago, had carved a theatre into the granite cliffs of Porthcurno, Cornwall.
