With welcoming venues and a variety of family-focused shows and screenings, Cornwall makes it easy to create shared moments of joy and wonder.
Bring your family together for a magical day of entertainment in Cornwall!
Cornwall is fortunate to have an abundance of theatres and cinemas, as well as a network of village halls and other community spaces that host performances throughout the year. Whether you are looking for a way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy day or just want some quiet time as a family, you should be able to find somewhere to go near you. It is worth noting that performances tend to sell out quickly on bad weather days during the school holidays so online pre-booking is strongly advised.
Also, a number of cinemas often offer promotions such as family tickets, reduced prices on certain days and cut-price screenings for older films on weekends and during school holidays, so make sure to check for these. Cinemas and theatres may also offer relaxed, signed, captioned and autism friendly screenings and performances on selected dates.
