The Cornish Culture Association is pleased to announce that as of today the 25th of September we have taken over responsibility for the organisation of Penzance's Montol Festival. The Cornish Culture Association would like to thank all those who contributed to the festival's success over the last few years, especially members of the Turkey Rhubarb Band whose hard work and commitment allowed the festival to continue as a central feature of the Penzance and Cornish communities. As there are a number of significant changes to the towns infrastructure this years festival will use a number of new locations. The 5:45pm procession will now start from Chapel Street instead of St John's Hall (which is undergoing major structural works) and will follow a new route (to be confirmed). There will also be a significant expansion of the traditional Cornish parts of the festival, following detailed research by members of the association,which will take place in the town centre between 7pm and 10pm (full details to be confirmed). We hope that the festival's popular legacy of "celebrating the Cornish traditions of Winter" will not only remain under our leadership but thrive and prosper.
Simon Reed - Secretary and Organiser Cornish Culture Association for and on behalf of the trustees of the association.
