The Killigrew’s are up to their usual devious ways in Falmouth and Queen Elizabeth is not at all happy.

Lowender 2024 - Traditional Cornish Music and Dance Festival 25th to 27th of October
Held at various venues across Redruth featuring Celtic song and dance in the Cornish tradition. Lowender (formerly Lowender Celtic Festival) has been going for more than 40 days and attracts hundreds of performers from Celtic nations.
Montol Festival 2024 - Saturday 21 December 2024 Penzance (various venues)
A proper Celtic winter solstice six-day arts and community festival held at various venues across Penzance, started in 2007 by people involved in the midsummer Golowan festival.
The festival is a revival - or reinterpretation - of many of the traditional Cornish midwinter customs and Christmas traditions which were formerly practised in and around the Penzance area - and were once common to much of Cornwall.
Montol is held on the traditional date of the feast of St Thomas the Apostle, usually the 21st of December, which always coincides with the winter solstice.
Fire performers and 'Obby 'Osses, guise beasts and musicians: all these will be out and about from 2pm on 21st December - around Jubilee Market Jew Street, Green Market and Causewayhead, to be joined by Christmas carol singers, choirs and dancers. We invite everyone to join us - for the family-friendly events during the day and early evening, and an edgier, adult menu of guild-led misrule as the darkness deepens. When it gets late, anything can happen.
