Redruth Set to Shine with Harbour Festival: A Celebration of International Theatre
This September, Redruth will come alive with the vibrant energy of the Harbour Festival, a groundbreaking international theatre event that promises to captivate audiences and further cement the town's status as a cultural hub.
Running from 21-29 September 2024, the Harbour Festival offers a mix of free and paid events across Redruth, showcasing both internationally acclaimed and local Cornish performances. The diverse programme includes theatre, circus, and music, promising something for everyone.
Brought to life by the team behind The Ladder renovation, the festival aims to celebrate stories of sanctuary and the diverse journeys that have shaped Cornwall’s rich cultural tapestry. From Ukrainian performance artists to Cornwall’s own alternative male voice choir, the festival promises a unique blend of local and international talent.
Festival-goers can look forward to an eclectic mix of performances, including Hooligan Art Community’s brave music theatre, Men Are Singing’s farewell show, Ontroerend Goed’s mesmerising sensorial experiences, Panta Rei’s magical storytelling for young audiences, and No Fit State Circus’s awe-inspiring feats.
The Harbour Festival has gone beyond performances, and has fostered collaboration between international artists and local organisations. These partnerships have resulted in celebratory pieces that respond to Cornwall’s landscape and identity, creating a truly unique festival experience.
Tickets for headline events are now available through the Hall for Cornwall Box Office. Visit the official Harbour Festival website for the full programme and latest updates. Don’t miss this extraordinary celebration of international theatre right here in the heart of Cornwall!
