Love Cornwall?

We do too, so why not come and join us in celebrating St Piran’s day on our

stall at Whiteladies’ Road Farmers’ Market on Friday 5 March.

 

As well as our usual fine selection of Cornish goodies, we will be

celebrating St Piran in style by selling freshly made scones with strawberry

jam and proper clotted cream! And if that’s not enough and you want to enjoy

the full monty, then we also have tea from Cornwall’s first tea estate available to buy

for the complete Cornish Cream Tea experience. 

 What‘s St Piran’s Day I hear you ask?     

 St Piran is one of the patron saints of Cornwall

and every year the people of Cornwall

get together to celebrate its national day with lots of cheer, Cornish flags,

food and of course, drink! It originally started as one of the many miners

holidays observed by Cornish tin miners as St Piran was said to have discovered

tin. Nowadays, the Cornish celebrate with numerous events throughout the day

including flag raising, singing and dancing, processions through the streets of

various Cornish towns and most importantly, the St Piran Day play performed on

the dunes in Perranporth.     

 Did you know that St Piran's day is also celebrated in California? (Grass Valley to be precise).

This is to respect the Cornish miners who had participated in the regions

mining history dating back to the beginning of the mid 19th century.

I wonder whether they will tucking into some proper Cornish pasties in honour?!     

 Please do come along and discover what delicious food and drink Cornwall

has to offer and be part of St Piran’s Day in Bristol. And if you can’t make it, remember

there is always our website (www.mullioncove.net) where you can buy all of our

products on-line as well as finding out where we’ll be via our events list.
