This venue is the Devon base for the charity Farms For City Children. Founded over 30 years ago, FFCC is a children’s educational charity that now runs three farms: Nethercott in Devon, Wick Court in Gloucestershire and Treginnis Isaf on the Pembrokeshire coast. 3,000 children each year, aged between 8 and 14, including very many disadvantaged children benefit from a week away working alongside real farmers in the fresh air and beautiful countryside learning so much more than is possible in the confines of a normal classroom. Even children with special educational needs find something they are good at therefore building up self esteem.

It stands on an earlier Norman mound surrounded by a deep dry ditch, atop a high spur beside the River Fowey. Twice visited by the Black Prince, it finally saw action during the Civil War in 1644.

The site of Miracle’s first ever performance in 1979, Perran Round was originally an Iron Age/Romano-British enclosed farmstead. It was converted in the medieval period to a Playing Place where miracle plays were performed, making it the obvious location for our first performance. Although it’s not signposted it is relatively easy to find 1.2km along the B3285 from Goonhavern (towards Perranporth), on the north side of the road, just off a small lane opposite a pink house.
