The Trelawny Shout is a community get-together where a pub, a club, a local choir, a few strong singers or perhaps a local charity sings the iconic Cornish anthem Trelawny on St Piran’s Day, 5th March, at 9pm. The song is sung, the charity pot is filled, Cornwall raises its celebratory voice and the collective heart is warmed!
The tradition of ‘shouts’ – or informal singing ‘in the round’ in pubs – has happened in Cornwall for centuries. The first Trelawny Shout was held much more recently though, in 2015.
