For many in the Cornish community, the highlight of the language events organised through the year is the Pennseythen Gernewek, which is held in the spring around Easter. These have been held since 1975 and are a great focal point for learners.
The aim of the Pennseythen Gernewek is to give Cornish speakers and learners a chance to practise speaking, listening and writing the language in an enjoyable way and in a friendly, stress-free and relaxed environment, and we hope we do that successfully—why not come and take part?
For 2026 we are lucky to be holding the Pennseythen Gernewek in Truro Girls’ High School (Falmouth Rd, TR1 2HU), in the Cornish capital, Truru. The event will take place from the 17th-19th of April.
Our event hashtag is #pennseythen26
