Nethercott Farm Fundraiser

We had a sell-out show at Gillingham School in early July and thanks to Syd Symons for sending us some fabulous new production pics which I'll be uploading onto the website for all to see! We're looking forward to another great evening's entertainment at Nethercott Farm on 18 July, a charity fundraiser for Farms for City Children. Founded over 30 years ago, FFCC is a children's educational charity that now runs three farms: Nethercott in Devon, Wick Court in Gloucestershire and Treginnis Isaf on the Pembrokeshire coast. 3,000 children each year, aged between 8 and 14, including very many disadvantaged children benefit from a week away working alongside real farmers in the fresh air and beautiful countryside learning so much more than is possible in the confines of a normal classroom. All funds raised on the night will go towards this worthwhile cause, so what's stopping you? Book your ticket now on 01837 55876.

Bude Latest

The weather's looking a bit iffy for our performance of Tartuffe at Bude Castle on Saturday 11 July at 7.30pm so we've booked the Ivor Potter Hall, Parkhouse Centre, a stone's throw from the Castle, just in case it's really wet. So, if you're planning to come along to Bude, don't be put off by the weather - you'll still be able to enjoy Tartuffe in the Ivor Potter Hall. And you won't even need to bring a chair! That said, Bude folk assure us that they have a unique micro-climate, and even the worst of the weather passes them by. So fingers crossed for a fine evening! Book your tickets now on 01872 262466 or 01288 357300.

St Ives Fundraiser

Miracle Theatre will be supporting the restoration of historic Porthmeor Studios in St Ives with a charity performance of Tartuffe on Friday 10 July at 7.30pm.  With a history spanning over 150 years, Porthmeor Studios is the oldest artists' complex in St Ives, and to this day artists share their working space with fishermen and their equipment. To help preserve this unique piece of St Ives history, funds raised on the night will be donated to the Trust that manages the buildings. It's also a rare chance to catch live theatre on the wild and romantic setting of The Island. Book tickets on 01872 262466.

Miracle in Camelford Celebrations
In 1259, Camelford on the North Cornwall coast gained its status as a town after being granted its first charter by King Henry III. 750 years later, Miracle Theatre is joining in the town's Charter Anniversary fun when it performs Tartuffe in Camelford's Enfield Park on Wednesday 8 July at 7.30pm. The people of Camelford have been making merry with jousting tournaments, feasting and fabulous displays of medieval costume, and Enfield Park is being decorated by local children to look its best. Enjoy open air theatre in fine surroundings, bring some friends, a folding chair, a rug and a picnic and book your tickets for Tartuffe today!
