About this event

Bodmin's St Piran's Day celebrations include a parade through the town.

On Monday 6th March 2023, the school day nearest to St Piran’s Day, crowds will line the streets to watch the parade of children and dignitaries, led by fiddle, pipe and drum, as they march through the town, responding to the children’s cry: “Oggy Oggy Oggy”. The children will sing ‘Trelawney’ and ‘Hail to the Homeland’ and dance on Mount Folly before continuing the parade to St Petroc’s Church, where schools will present a song, poem or play on a Cornish theme. The celebrations finish with a pasty lunch. This year the children will receive a reusable water bottle, rather than a single use plastic bottle, with a logo designed by 11-year-old Merix Robins, to help support events in Bodmin to be plastic free. Join us as we keep Baner Peran (St Piran’s Banner) flying in Bodmin. Gool Peran Lowen!
