23 Aug Harbour: Redruth International Festival of Theatre
I’m sure you might have heard by now that Redruth is buzzing with brand new ventures and venues like… the Buttermarket!
There’s plenty of marvellous happenings in our town to shout about! One of which is Harbour: Redruth Intenational Festival of Theatre.
Harbour Festival offers both free and paid-for events across Redruth and beyond, celebrating stories of migration and sanctuary. Running from the 21st to the 29th of September, audiences can expect unconventional and unique theatre which brings together both international and Cornish work. From circus to site-specific theatre, the jampacked programme has got something for all ages.
There are plenty of highlights, including renowned Cornish choir Men Are Singing, conducted and directed by Seamas Carey, who are performing at the Auction House on Station Hill – just next door to the Buttermarket! Or perhaps you’ll discover the internationally renowned Ontroerend Goed – a Belgian theatre performance group with mesmerising sensorial experiences, also just next door. And hey! Why not make your evening extra-special with a pre-show dinner at the Buttermarket, where you can take your pick from the menus of six tasty kitchens with flavours from around the world. And make sure you head to the Buttermarket bar for your post-performance critiques over a glass of wine, local craft beer or even a quirky cocktail!
Oh, and we must mention that No Fit State Circus are bringing captivating feats of strength and agility to the town as they build towering sculptures six metres high! The show includes physical comedy and awe-inspiring moments that are sure to wow audience members. Believe it or not, No Fit State Circus will be performing in none other than the Fair Meadow Car Park just outside the Buttermarket! How convenient is that if you’re looking for a unique experience with great food at hand!
