Golden Tree Tips for St Piran’s Day

Posted on March 2nd, 2021

This year’s ‘Gool Peran’ (St Piran’s Day) will be one to remember. With no parades or dances through the streets or hearty singsongs around the pubs of Cornwall, we’ve put together some ways you can still celebrate our patron Saint Piran from home.

Trelawny Shout

The Trelawny Shout will be going ahead this year, just not as we know it! Join the many voices of Cornwall in an online event from 9pm on March 5th. Supported by BBC Radio Cornwall, the Shout will be recorded and shared up and down the land.

The Story of St. Piran 

The Story of St. Piran by Tom Gainey and illustrated by Ryan Cardew is the first book to be published on the life and adventures of St. Piran in Cornish and English. You can also listen to the audiobook in both languages.

The Tale of St Piran 

Cornwall Heritage Trust have put together The Tale of St Piran, a ten–minute film suitable for primary schools and above. Golden Tree’s very own Cornish Language Officer, Pol Hodge, wrote the script and features in the film as St Piran himself.
