The popular Cornish festival of St Piran’s Day will return on Saturday 1st March 2025, 10am – 3pm.
Every year, we celebrate the patron saint of Cornwall – St Piran. The festival began as a celebration of tin miners but today St Piran’s Day is celebrated far and wide as a way of recognising all the great things about Cornwall. Come share your Cornish pride and traditions to help showcase our vibrant, fun community. How? Why not come dressed as something that reminds you of Cornwall.
The day begins with an 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝟏𝟎 𝐚𝐦 near the Alcove in Market Strand. At 𝟏𝟎:𝟏𝟓 𝐚𝐦, shortly after the opening, artist Marc Craig will reveal the first permanent mural in his Ark of Extinction Global Project!
At 𝟏𝟏 𝐚𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 will leave from Lemins Court, wending its way through the town until it ends just outside the Regal Cinema, ready for the 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐧𝐲 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐚𝐲. 〓〓
Browse our 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 between 𝟏𝟎 𝐚𝐦 – 𝟑 𝐩𝐦, in Market Hall and along Market Strand. There will also be musical performances, free activities, and a Red Squirrel Trail running throughout the town. There is so much to discover at Redruth’s St Piran’s Festival!
From traditional music, live entertainment, a host of market stalls and activities, there will be something for everyone.
