From grand festival stages to small intimate venues, The Press Gang have been taking audiences on maritime and Cornish heritage voyages through songs and shanties for well over a decade.

Come, stomp your feet, clap your hands and let them immerse you in the captivating melodies of the sea and Cornwall.

Their set has expanded to include even more original material, while they still hold plenty of focus on putting their individual, feminine twist on some folk classics.

22nd – 25th November – 7.30pm

Tickets available, from Ticketsource,  by clicking the link below:

£12 Adults / £6 Under 16s & Students with ID

Don’t lose your head…

Make sure you’ve booked your tickets for St Austell Players’ latest production – Anne Boleyn. Premiering at Shakespeare’s Globe in 2010, Howard Brenton’s take on the life of perhaps Henry VIII’s most famous wife is an enthralling tale following the life of the infamous queen and her struggle with power, politics, love and ambition.

Told through the eyes of both Anne and King James I, as he is haunted by her powerful impact, this fresh retelling is a new take on a classic story.
