Welcome to the homepage of Celtic Nation Kernow & Incorporating Celtic Nations International

Celtic Nation Kernow is here to continue the legacy of Celtic Congress Cornwall which has existed as a Celtic organisation for over one hundred years. Time and technology has moved forward in ways our forefathers would never have imagined and we are now able to interact worldwide through the power of the internet. 

Celtic Nation Kernow as an integral and contemporary part of Celtic Congress Cornwall continues its aims and goals but in a way better suited to the 21st century.

Our aims are:

  • Supporting Kernewek, the Cornish language, 
  • To encourage interest and participation in Cornish and Celtic culture and heritage
  • Promoting and sharing the enjoyment of Celtic arts
  • Interacting with peoples from all the Celtic nations within the United Kingdom and Europe
  • Supporting Cornish and wider Celtic identity and culture
BBC Consulation

What will the BBC do for Kernow?

Although Kernow and its Celtic language Kernewek has been granted same status as those of Northern Ireland, Cymru and Alba there is no mention in the BBC consultation of Kernow.

Kernow has been totally ignored. This consultation needs to have input by people from Cornwall who care about our status, culture and heritage so that the BBC know the strength of feeling. Under the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities the Cornish people are recognised as is our language. When will the BBC give the people of Kernow equality. They don't even include a tickbox for nationality in their consultation. this is an affront to the Cornish people.

If you really care about Kernow please take time to complete the questionnaire, not drekly but very soon as it ends on 10th March. For a page of information and advice and links to information and the questionnaire: Click HERE

Kernow – The battle for Devolution and the UK’s fifth Nation

This is a battle for Cornwall's future and its opportunities to control our own agenda without the constant threat of Cornwall being subsumed into a greater 'South West England' entity. Should that ever happen Cornwall's history, cultural heritage and identity of the Cornish people would be eroded and ultimately lost.

Our webpage Kernow – The battle for Devolution and the UK’s fifth Nation has a range of information from reputable sources. Click HERE or the Baner Sen Peren image to open.

Celtic Nation Kernow - FREE Membership for ALL Celtic nations

Our brand new website is just the start of the Celtic Nation Kernow journey. We hope to attract people who are interested in Celtic history and culture and for them to join us as members.

Membership is FREE and our launch of Celtic Nation Kernow marks the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Cornish people being acknowledged as a Celtic national minority of the United Kingdom under the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities on 24th April 2014. This makes the Cornish equal to our Scottish, Welsh and Irish Celtic cousins, although still behind the curve in many respects. 2024 also marks the 120th anniversary of Cornwall being accepted as a Celtic nation, with its own Brythonic Celtic language.

Please sign up for membership there is no cost and we hope to share more of Cornish and other Celtic national histories and culture with you, together with events and activities as well as interaction with many other Celtic groups and people from the other nations.
