The Theatre On The Moor
Open air theatre, art gallery, craft shop and coffee shop. 400 seats canopy covered - so no cancellations due to weather. Some indoor productions held during off season. The Sterts theatre company presents a wide variety of drama and musicals, from Shakespeare to musicals. In addition, there are various drama productions from other groups and concerts featuring many different types of music. The theatre first opened on 2nd June 1990.
Sterts Arts and Environment Centre has been a much-loved part of the arts community in SE Cornwall for decades. Founded in the 1980's by Ewart and Anne Sturrock as an open-air theatre, it gradually developed into the iconic tent structure which is so widely recognised across the South West. Sadly, having been replaced once, the second canopy suffered storm damage in 2022 that put it beyond repair.
The rebuilding of the community theatre is being funded with the help of a £200,000 investment from the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Good Growth Rural Prosperity Fund, which is managed by Cornwall Council and funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. /p>
This will be combined with a Community Ownership Fund grant of £300,000 which Sterts were also fortunate enough to secure, allowing Sterts to replace the fragile canvas structure with a more robust steel-framed building.
Located six miles north of Liskeard on B3254.
