Welcome to Hall for Cornwall…bringing theatre to life!
Hall for Cornwall is the largest theatre in Cornwall and a regional performance venue. Located in the heart of Truro, Hall for Cornwall is conveniently located with nearby parking and all of the City's shops and amenities close by.
Throughout the year the theatre offers a packed programme of music, drama and dance with something for visitors of all ages and tastes - including some great family shows for our younger visitors. Live theatre offers the perfect night out in Cornwall and a great way to celebrate a special occasion during your visit.
Hall for Cornwall welcomes a range of top performers to the stage including national touring companies from the West End, international companies, comedians and touring bands and musicians. With online booking and on-the-night ticket collection from the Box Office, booking tickets is quick and easy - even for shows on the same day.
Many shows have matinee performances (perfect for wet afternoons) and it's always worth phoning Box office or calling in to see what we have on and whether tickets are available.
You can enjoy a meal before the show in our Stars Restaurant. Many shows have special menus and meal deals and for most family shows children eat for just £2. Check our website for relevant performances or contact Box Office for details.
Why not make a trip to the theatre part of your visit to Cornwall? Whether you book online or by phone we can send tickets to you ahead of your visit to ensure you get good seats for the performance of your choice.
