Celebrating St Piran’s Day 2025

St. Piran's Day, celebrated on March 5th, is the national day of Cornwall, honouring St. Piran, the patron saint of tin miners and Cornwall itself. The day commemorates when St. Piran, an Irish missionary, arrived in Cornwall around the 5th century. Cornish people celebrate with parades, traditional music, dancing, and flag-waving. The iconic black and white Cornish flag represents St. Piran's discovery of tin - when he noticed black tin ore in his fireplace producing a white cross of tin as it smelted. Today, the celebration has evolved into a wider expression of Cornish identity and culture.
