Cornish language festival confirmed for Penzance in February

Cornish language festival confirmed for Penzance in February

Posted By Peter Tremayne on 18th December 2016

A nine-day festival celebrating all things Cornish is to be held in Penzance early next year.

The Festival Kernewek - Penzance Cornish Language Festival - will be held at the town’s Acorn theatre. It is organised by the educational charity Cornish Quest, following a successful bid to the Big Lottery 'Celebrate' Fund.

It is thought to be the first festival of its kind in Cornwall.
