St Piran’s Day in Bude is a celebration that captures the true spirit of Cornwall: proud, community-led, and steeped in heritage. Held each year on 5th March, the day honours St Piran, the patron saint of Cornwall, and brings together locals and visitors to celebrate Cornish identity against the dramatic coastal backdrop that makes Bude so distinctive.
The Cornish flag of St Piran – a white cross on a black background – is said to represent the discovery of tin, a nod to Cornwall’s mining heritage and a symbol that still resonates deeply with Cornish people today.
