Accessibility
Pros:
"Disabled parking is at the very front of the carpark and there are several clever ramps for the disabled, push chairs or those who prefer not to use steps."
"From here the steps start and are not so easy for anyone disabled or has issues walking."
"I'm sure there is a disabled toilet but I didn't see one so ask if you need it."
"The most amazing theatre I've ever been to, and despite the cliffs and stairs they had wheelchair access!"
"I was guided to an accessible discs to park my car and offered assistance to unload my wheelchair which was much quicker than messing around with my hoist."
"The accessible bathroom was clean and tidy and very well thought out."
"I'd rate accessibility here a full 10/10 for wheelchair users."
Cons:
"From here we didn't go any further as it was very wet and windy and there are many steps and some are very steep."
"It has many steps to go up and down the theatre, but worth it."
"Be aware that lanes are very narrow to drive, place is not suitable for people with mobility issues too."
"We were really amazed at the beauty of the place,the incredible work by Rowena Cade and her team who were involved in creating this incredible space for countless people to enjoy both a performance and the place of the performance."
Facilities and Cleanliness
Pros:
"There are toilets on this level and they are the cleanest I have ever seen with fresh flowers!!"
"For visually impaired guests they also had a recorded voice box in the bathroom that could provide a visual description of the room."
"Food & drink is available at a small kiosk & you can sit on the grass & stone amphitheatre & soak in the atmosphere while enjoying an ice cream, pasty & drinks etc."
"Every staff member is super helpful regarding being seated. There was a small coffee shop available with bare minimum supplies."
Cons:
"It feels a little steep at £10 each to walk around. But I guess this is a beautiful, high maintenance place."
"Cannot imagine what theatre goers endure when the weather is inclement. I guess they all bring a Cushion & waterproofs!!"
"Outdoor theatre, interesting concept, lots of pretty flowers scattered over the place, but unfortunately not good for rainy day."
"We had an absolutely amazing morning at the theatre!! I was stumbled across a presentation of the origin story of the theatre which made the visit tonnes better and more immersive."
Overall Experience and Performances
Pros:
"It's an amazing build and what a great idea. The views are stunning in every direction."
"We (Family of 4 - Girls are 11 and 13) had a great time here. We watched a show @ 10:30 about a lonely lighthouse keeper. Very entertaining, lots of audience involvement."
"We went to see a one-man show on a beautiful Monday afternoon and were absolutely blown away. Not only was the performance captivating, but the setting was truly spectacular."
"Utterly spectacular experience, watching the sun go down over a funny lighthearted play. Take a cushion, a blanket and a snack!"
"This is really worth visiting to appreciate the effort involved and the beautifully designed & landscaped area."
"Totally blown away by the performance here. It gets to the root of your soul. Easy parking, booking essential to guarantee your place."
"What an absolutely beautiful place! You can tell that there is a lot of love put into the building and upkeep of the theatre!"
Cons:
"Disappointing that google doesn't have opening or closing times. Unfortunately the Minack Theatre was closed on the day we visited."
"I wanted a show at the theater and booked the tickets prior but still made to wait 30mins in the queue. The show was not so great but the views were amazing."
"It's terribly uncomfortable if you end up in a bad spot, or have some issues sitting on rock."
"Really disappointing experience today. I came here in the summer to see our niece perform. It's such a stunning setting."
