Going To The Theatre In St Ives & West Cornwall

Down here in West Cornwall we are lucky to have so many creative and artistic people around. There are some great theatres and touring companies that put on fabulous shows throughout the year.

There are about 100 children involved, and since 1994 they have produced more than 100 shows and won lots of awards. They often put on shows over the school holidays, and a traditional family panto at Christmas.
