Theatre fans in Cornwall have the Minnack and the Hall for Cornwall in Truro but then what?

Theatre Breaks from Cornwall

Cornwall has almost everything you need but if you like to take in a West End musical for a change then you will need to exit the county for a short time. London Theatre breaks by train are pretty convenient really, you can never be too far away from a mainline station such as Penzance, Redruth, Truro or Liskeard and then once you've gone past Plymouth and Exeter it's super fast inter city 125 all the way to Paddington.

By booking a London Theatre break from Camborne, Launceston or Helston for example you can be up in London in time for an evening meal, one of the really big shows such as Les Miserables, Phantom of The Opera, Wicked, Oliver or Dirty Dancing and then spend a comfortable night ina posh London hotel. That's the whole point of booking a theatre break as one single package from Cornwall to the West End.

The angel is in the churchyard at Sancreed, where there used to be lots going on. Last time we visited the art gallery garden place seemed to have been made private though.

Apparently there was ice at the side of the creek last week, the first time since we moved there 30 years ago.

It's a fake, of course, but makes an interesting landmark I suppose.
