Cornish Heritage Societies & Groups Programmes of Events
Here we try to share information about the programme of events being organised by smaller societies, groups and organisations throughout Cornwall. We also share these on social media and through mentions in the various Voice, Cornish Times and Cornish & Devon Post newspaper editions published throughout Cornwall.
Email us your poster programme of events or link and we will add this to our listings as well as your society details to our list of Cornish heritage related groups and organisations. This includes all types of Cornish history, culture and environmental organisations.
We will attempt to keep this page updated as we learn of additional society events. There may be occasional cancellations due to unforeseen reasons, we will list these here for reference prior to the event where we have been informed. Many events will be rescheduled, and these will be mentioned here.

The group has gone from strength to strength more than doubling its numbers to 40 in less than three years. Its intention is to discover, preserve and disseminate the history of the Parish of St Tudy while also fostering an interest in Cornish and wider history.
St Tudy Historical Society usually meets in the Village Hall at 7:30pm on the last Monday of each month (except August and December). A variety of external speakers are arranged with occasional visits to places of interest while members are encouraged to share the results of their own studies during Members’ Interest meetings. The full year’s programme can be enlarged and viewed clicking the right-hand image.
