Penlee Park Open Air Theatre - the theatre in the park in the heart of Penzance. A unique outdoor theatre space that has celebrated Cornish, national and international performers since 1948.
In 2016, we became one of Cornwall365’s Cultural Ambassadors and in 2018 Penzance became the first town in the UK to be awarded Plastic Free status by Surfers Against Sewage; as a venue we believe it is important to make a stand against single-use plastic products and have achieved plastic free status by removing all petro-chemical based products and replacing them with plant-based plastic products. We are now also members of The Final Straw Cornwall, you will not find plastic straws offered in our venue! In 2018, we celebrated our 70th Anniversary season.
Set in beautiful sheltered surroundings in Penlee Park, the theatre seats around 300 people. Come and enjoy an afternoon or evening of quality entertainment in the open air this summer from our varied programme.
There is the opportunity to order home-made vegetable pre-show curry, served with naan bread, or hot jacket potatoes served with butter and grated cheese, when you book your show tickets with CRBO, for only £5. Our home-made vegetable curry is both dairy and gluten free. In addition we have a full range of hot drinks and a range of soft drinks and snacks. Please note: hot food may not be available at all matinee performances.
