Newquay will be celebrating St. Piran’s Day with a fun packed schedule of activities from Friday 1st right through until St Piran’s Day itself on Tuesday 5th March.

Organiser Rob Spowart says of the weekend’s events “ We are delighted that the community of Newquay is coming together to celebrate the Cornish Culture and Heritage of our very special part of the North Cornish coastline. With grateful thanks to Newquay Town Council and Newquay BID we are able to offer a range of free events over a busy weekend, which offer something for everyone. Bring along a St Piran’s Flag or wear your Cornish Tartan with pride – come along and involve yourself in the events that are happening on Saturday or Sunday – we look forward to seeing you here!” “Remember – you don’t have to be born in Cornwall to be proud to feel ‘Cornish’ and support St Piran’s Day celebrations”!

And for those who don’t know what St Piran’s Day is…

St Piran’s Day (Cornish: Gool Peran) is the national day of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom held on 5th March every year. The day is named after one of the patron saints of Cornwall, Saint Piran, who is also the patron saint of tin miners.
