Daffodils for St Piran

Last year a mysterious benefactor came forward and provided daffodils for the St Piran play. The organisers never had a chance to thank him propoerly as he arrived just as the play started and then vanished as quickly as he came when the play had completed.

This year we are again short of a supply of daffodils for the traditional pilgrimmage across the dunes and would appeal for a flower producer, or anyone that could help to, let us have a couple of boxes of daffodils for the pilgrims as they watch the play and make the journey to the church and ancient Celtic cross.

If the benefactor from last year is reading this - please make yourself known so that we can thank you properly for your help last year - it really was much appreciated!

St Piran's Oratory Awarded Grant

St Piran's Oratory has been awarded grants to complete surveys which will allow the formulation of a plan to uncover the oratory to be excavated and viewed by the public.

Good news!

St Piran Play

Today the St Piran play was performed accross the sand dunes at Perranporth. There were hundreds of people there to see the story of St Piran unfold at various places of special significance to the life and history of St Piran.

This year the St Piran Trust had taken over the production of the play and it looks like the tradition is in good hands. As well as the scenes that we have come to enjoy each year there were new surprises and added touches designed to enhance the atmosphere and overall effect of the production.

St Piran's Oratory is currently buried under tons of sand. Given the significance of the site and its antiquity, this is something of a travesty. You can find out more about the Oratory and the work of the St Piran Trust here .
