Minack Theatre

The Minack Theatre ‘master builder’, Rowena Cade, was born in 1893. The First World War and the death of her father brought an abrupt end to her genteel life in Cheltenham, and in the early 1920s she moved to Cornwall and bought the Minack headland for £100. Here she built her home, Minack House, which you’ll see on the cliff-top as you approach the theatre.
