Cornish Intangible Cultural Heritage is the non-physical aspects of Cornish culture that are passed down through generations and are part of community life.
It is Cornwall’s living culture and includes music, festivals, traditions, dance, sport and skills. It is part of Cornwall’s identity and while important parts are rooted in our history, it can also change over time.
Protecting, sharing and passing on our traditions to the next generation helps keep vibrant community life and a sense of belonging.
We are holding a survey to record as much tangible heritage as possible.
This can include: local knowledge, folklore, performing arts, sports, social or culinary customs, and crafts.
So many of these activities and knowledge are unrecorded & are thus at risk of being lost - we want to change that!
If there is anything you can think of, whether it is local to you or Cornwall-wide, we want to hear about it from you.
The information collected by the survey is the first stage in gathering evidence in response to the UK Government’s confirmed intention to ratify the UNESCO Convention for Intangible Cultural Heritage.

This can include: local knowledge, folklore, performing arts, sports, social or culinary customs, and crafts.
