Hall for Cornwall Review

Saw Kneehigh Theatre performance of The Tin Drum excellent great entertainment.

Friendly staff, good show, comfortable seats but view of stage from side seats limited.

Had a lovely time seeing Beauty and the Beast on ice

Not really a big fan; there have been a few shows I've gone to but many more I would have gone to if better advertised. The whole experience is over-priced and a night out at HFC would be among the last places I'd want to take the family. Currently closed for a refurb which will, undoubtedly, add more to the ticket prices.

Great venue with friendly staff, prices a little high at times. Drinks very expensive

Gonna miss this place when it's closed for refurbishment

Now closed for 2 years for refurbishment but good venue to see artists

Great venue. Everything from music, ballet, West end shows, pantomimes, comedians, etc.... Also has a coffee bar during the day.

This is now being expanded and will increase the capacity. Found the prices to exceed that I have paid in Southampton.

The events are getting better all the time and the calibre of performances have clearly improved too - Jimmy Carr, Sarah Millican and Julian Clary to name a few!

Brilliant took my grand daughter to "what the Ladybird heard" it was done so beautifully she lived every minute of it.

Good venue, but staff didn't know which way to send us to our seats and signage could be better.

Great theatre showing a huge variety of genres, we are so pleased to have it in Cornwall as there are so few other options for quality live theatre (the wonderful Minack Theatre excepted). Layout and visibility is good, acoustics excellent. It attracts top acts and companies.

Great place but long time ago it's been closed for year.ge to grips!

Building is undergoing a massive refurbishment until Autumn 2020

Great local events/performance hall. Shame they'll be closing for a year soon.

Just back from watching The Full Monty with My Daughter.
The reception staff were very friendly on arrival as were the bar staff in foyer and bar upstairs.
We had a lovely sandwich and apple juice. Ordered another apple juice for the break.
Indulged ourselves with a lovely piece of low fat fruit cake and slice of ginger cake. Yummy.
The Show was Brilliant. All the cast gave a 110% a laugh a minute. They were all stars and none of them a Diva.
Thank you very much Everyone . I Travelled all the way from Plymouth and back and it was well worth the effort. Brilliant Evening.

We always look to see a show when visiting Truro. Good theatre.

Great venue, though now closed for refurbishment for 20 months. Watched Beauty and the Beast on ice which involved very talented Russian ice skaters. Would recommend parking on Lemon Street if after 6 as it is free.

Always ring in advance to get the best choice. Disabled people are welcome.

The venue was pretty clean and tidy.
Adds on for the show were a little over priced.
Could have been warmer

A great venue for a nice evening out or pantomime at Christmas. I would strongly recommend this theatre.

Great food great service food was reasonably priced not over expensive would recommend

Good seats a little pricey. Very little leg room. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Host some wonderful shows.

Hall For Cornwall is closed for a complete refit. The old arena style auditorium and the surrounding on-the-cheap plasterboard interior has been removed and is being replaced by a stalls-circle-gallery style auditorium in steel that sits within the old granite central volume of the old market halls. There will be 1200 seats - more than enough to lure the best touring shows to an eager audience in the far west.

In the daytime the new auditorium will be visible between new granite-arched foyers at the Back Quay and (for the first time) Boscawen Street entrances, allowing the public to experience an all day cultural offer. At show time, the auditorium will be separated visually and acoustically from the foyers by retractable screens, blinds and doors, whose closing will signal the start of the performance.

The granite, steel and wood interiors, complemented with seating fabric echoing the colours of the Cornish shoreline, will give the space a tough authenticity that is uniquely of its place.

This venue is now closed for refurbishment for two years

Excellent place especially when modernisation completed soon.

Have to comment as i went to see my son in the Cornwall Dance Partnership event last night and the show was fantastic and very well run as for the staff from i can only presume is the Hall for Cornwall are extremely rude and i shall explain why.
In this day an age that we live in where you can video using a telephone when going to see your son/daughter dancing there socks off you want nothing more than to be able to film this special event to enjoy again and again and also to be able to show other family members/friends.
To be told to stop filming and by an old matron/like attendaent is nothing short of infuriating,disgraceful and downright rude.
They are lucky i didn't have a go on the night but i thought like i had planned for my video i would share it with others.

Shame on you Hall For Cornwall it ruined an otherwise great evening.

Have seen some great shows here. From Billy Wyman and The Rhythm Kings to Fiddler on The Roof. Comfortabe, although be aware that the seating at the back is very steep. Can't wait to see Bill Bailey. :)

What a great night my daughter and I had, was a full house, we watched Grease and we were not disappointed. Staff very efficient.

Went to the dinosaur show. The staff were very helpful

At present under going a revamp, closed for two years.

Very expensive but you get your money's worth with the fantastic productions.

It is a nice place to go and watch shows and musicals

Been going to HFC for many years . But now it is closing for two years for refurbishment .Looking forward to the new theatre so then will be Five Star's.

Saw 'The Gruffalo' production here a while back and was thoroughly entertained. They provided discounted prices for our entire toddler group so great place to consider booking for large groups.

I've been to 2 shows here - a concert and a talky thing - both were adequately catered for.

Great little venue in the heart of town and nice choice of food from the surrounding establishments.

Go regularly, watched Addams Family last time. It was great!

Looking at the HFC autumn programme I have the impression the venue no longer caters for those like me who enjoy quality contemporary music. In the past I have seen Coldplay, Keane, Elbow, Reef and many other acts at the HFC. In the current programme there are twelve tribute acts and zero current acts. The only popular music hails from the 1980's and beyond. I feel the publically subsidised venue has a duty to cater for a wider audience and to nurture contemporary talent. The HFC falls between Princes Pavilion, Falmouth and Plymouth Pavilions. Somehow these venues manage to promote current talent. Could the HFC have a more appealing balance of shows?

Great venue but the seating can be little cramped for people with long legs.

Great we visit often for shows last one was the panti
