We are delighted to announce the ‘Carols of the Roseland’ – a project emerging from ‘Music of the Roseland’ with St Gerrans and Porthscatho Old Cornwall Society and the Roseland Music Society!

This project has come about through researching local folk and community carols connected with the Roseland through community memory, newspaper and archive research.

These carols are being published in a new Roseland carol book, which is being published by the Federation of Old Cornwall Societies and will be published during 2024.

We are also delighted that some of these carols will be sung this Christmas in Truro Cathedral – and YOU can sing them with us!

Do you want to sing Cornish carols this year?

Join the new Roseland carol choir!
