In 1981 Polruan Age Concern, in an effort to raise some funds, suggested an Old Time Musical at the Village Hall. An initial meeting was called and a group of about 30 put on The Good Old Days in May of that year. Subsequently a management committee was elected and Polruan Theatre Club  (now Polruan Players) was born.

Each year we usually present three productions –  Winter, Spring ( as part of the Du Maurier Arts Festival), and Summer.

Relative Values by Noel Coward was our most recent production. You can read the review  from the Cornish Guardian.

Polruan was first referred to by name in 1292 when Philip Daubany and his heirs received a grant from the king for a weekly market on Tuesday for “his manor of Polruan”. But, with its sheltered natural harbour , Polruan would  have been a focus for trade by river and sea from prehistory.
