Mebyon Kernow would like to wish one and all a Happy St Piran’s Day!

We sincerely hope that everyone will find the time to do something to celebrate Cornwall’s national identity.

Our national saint’s day is going from strength to strength, with events taking place over multiple days, and it is good to see that communities, the length and breadth of Cornwall, will be holding celebrations featuring the Cornish language, music and dance, and so much more.

Cornwall has such a powerful national identity, which is vitally important to our sense of place and the very well-being of our communities, and it is fantastic that the 5th March is now such an important date in our calendar, when people come together in a positive and inclusive manner to mark our Cornishness.

And as we say, each and every year, the promotion of Cornish distinctiveness is not something that should be restricted to once a year in March. We should be doing all in our power, each and every day, to promote and enhance our identity and heritage.
