Pop-up Kowsva

(Green words on our website can be hovered over (or tapped on mobile) to reveal their meaning. For example: Splann!)

For nine years we had a static shop, Kowsva, in Heartlands, Resrudh, which was a great success. Unfortunately, the closure of Heartlands meant a dramatic decline in our footfall and in September 2024 we took the sad decision to close our doors.

However, that change let us really investigate how to bring Cornish to a wider community. Since then, we have developed Pop-up Kowsva, the experience of our cosy community shop travelling across Kernow.

Instead of you coming to Kowsva, Kowsva comes to you!
