It’s time for the town’s annual St Piran’s Day celebrations!
The ever-popular St Piran Furry and St Piran Concert will be returning to Penzance again for March 2023!
Organised by St Piran in Penwith, with grant funding from Penzance Council, Penzance will see the return of children dancing the St Piran Furry in the town and a special Cornish Concert held at St John’s Hall.
Jakki Williams, Chair of the St Piran in Penwith Committee, said “for the 18th year we will be celebrating St Piran’s Day throughout Penzance. Flags will be flying and children will be playing instruments and dancing in the streets. Come along to our fun filled concert or watch our procession and join in our celebrations.
“A big thank you to Penzance Council and our wonderful volunteers who make it all happen. See you there – Gool Peran Lowen!!”
“Penzance Council is proud to support this unique celebration of our local identity” said Cllr Stephen Reynolds, Chair of the Finance & General Purposes Committee.
