The Gorsedh Kernow Esedhvos Festival of Cornish Culture is, this year, being held in St Just.

It starts on Thursday, September 5 and the programme includes a LitFest featuring ‘Meet the Authors’ from Gorsedh Kernow’s Holyer an Gof Awards scheme. The audience can listen to live interviews with prize winning authors and contributors including Katherine Stansfield and Dick Cole. Gorsedh Kernow will also launch several new books including ‘Cornish Bards of St Just’.

A conference on September 6 will be looking to Cornwall’s future, exploring the subject of ‘Global Kernow Today’. It will focus on partnerships and links that Cornwall has with cultural, economic and social communities across the world.

Also in this year’s schedule is the traditional Troyl/Ceilidh led by Helen Musser and the Penzance Guizers and the gala concert on Saturday evening with performers including the Cape Cornwall Singers and Penzance Youth String Orchestra.
