This is the official season programme for The Acorn Theatre in Penzance, covering events from September to December 2026. It is designed for local audiences and visitors interested in live music, comedy, theatre, dance, film, and family-friendly entertainment.
The document opens with a welcome letter from the theatre team, expressing gratitude to patrons, volunteers, bar staff, and trustees. It also outlines planned venue improvements, including a new stage, backdrop, improved lighting, and a new projector and screen, as well as a new Friends Scheme membership.
The main section is a month-by-month calendar of events. September features tribute acts such as Absolute Britney, Ultimate Coldplay, and Thunderstruck, alongside folk and bluegrass performances from artists like Filkin's Drift and The Original Five. October includes comedy, magic, and literary events, such as Dawn French in conversation and a tribute to Roy Orbison.
Each event entry provides a brief description of the act, including performer names and the style of show. The programme also includes practical visitor information, such as box office opening hours, booking methods by phone or online, and directions to the venue from local landmarks.
The final pages detail the upcoming Friends Scheme, which will offer benefits like free tickets, bar discounts, no booking fee, and free ticket exchanges. The scheme aims to support the theatre's programme and subsidise bursary places for young people in classes like Kalabash Youth Theatre.
