Lowender: a Cornish/
Kernewek word for mirth, joy or festivity
We celebrate Cornwall’s rich and distinctive culture; championing Cornwall’s living traditions locally, nationally and internationally. We are passionate about the power of cultural exchange to connect communities, contributing to a society that finds strength and joy in diversity.
We are a registered CIO set up to encourage recognition of Cornwall’s heritage and Celtic links as a vibrant, living tradition that everyone can participate in and enjoy.
To recognise and value your own and roots and identity is an essential first step in recognising valuing and respecting those of other people.
We believe each generation must show the next that our culture has something to offer them that is worth carrying forward into the future. Lowender provides the ideal medium through which to do this.
