Pacific Northwest Cornish Society
Upcoming Fall Meeting
October 19, 2024 - Zoom Meeting - 10:00 am Pacific time
Mark your calendars now for a special presentation by Yowann Byghan, Bard of Gorsedh Kernow, on a comparison of Cornwall and Brittany
 |
What is the Gorsedh Kernow? Gorsedh Kernow, which means Cornish Gorsedh, exists to maintain and give expression to the national spirit of Cornwall as a Celtic country. The bards of Gorsedh Kernow, who have each sworn allegiance to Cornwall as a Celtic nation, help maintain the national Celtic spirit of Cornwall by studying their own Cornish history and the Cornish language and literature, art, music, dance and sport. They actively promote strong links betwen Cornwall, other Celtic countries and the wider diaspora, and help promote a spirit of peace and cooperation among those who love Cornwall. * from Home - Gorsedh Kernow |
