1 Photograph by John Stedman Golowan – The Never Ending Story After the events of the past few months, which have brought the whole community together and shown how important Golowan is to the people of Penzance, it is both a pleasure and a privilege, as custodians of a proud tradition, to welcome one and all to the 2016 Golowan Festival. Although Penzance Town Council remains a valued and vital partner, 2016 is the year that Golowan effectively “came back to the community” and Golowan Festival Community Interest Company is the organisation charged with co-ordinating the wealth of community support and goodwill to deliver another outstanding celebration of the spirit and joy of this wonderful midsummer festival. With the support of hundreds of volunteers and sponsors, Truro & Penwith College, Aspects Holidays, Coodes Solicitors, Penzance Chamber of Commerce and the Penzance and District Tourism Association, all the ‘old favourite’ elements of Golowan will be back as Mazey Day sees the town thronged with crowds, colour, greenery, bustling market stalls and the magic of five parades featuring schools and community organisations, huge images and soul-stirring music. Around the town musicians, impromptu, acoustic and plugged-in, will ensure Penzance reverberates with rhythm while in Morrab Gardens a soft play area for children will combine with sweet music from the bandstand to offer both a rest for tired feet and a delight for the ears. Greenmarket car park - transformed into Festival Square for the day - will host enticing food stalls and non-stop music on the Folk Stage. On Market Jew Street the Mock Mayor will join the Town Mayor to share the delights of the parades with the thousands of visitors and locals who fill the streets. On Sunday most of the action moves down to the harbour area when Quay Fair Day - which can trace its history back to the twelfth century - sees the quayside packed with stalls, music and entertainment. The Quay Fairground will be open throughout the weekend and nearby Kids on the Prom will again furnish a host of stimulating activities for children. Penzance has a wealth of young, local musical talent and once again in Penlee Park, Notes on the Green will see them delighting an appreciative crowd. In 2016 there will be something for everyone and all ages will once again have the chance to enjoy the magic of this very special festival, Penzance’s very own Golowan! We are delighted to announce that at the 2016 What’s on Cornwall Awards the Golowan Festival won the award for Best Family Event! The award was accepted on behalf of the Golowan team, the amazing Golowan volunteers, the festival sponsors and the people of Penzance. Enjoy!

There can be no better illustration of this than the tremendous support we received last year when the future of the festival was under threat. Well over 1000 of you joined the “Save Golowan” Facebook group which has now rebranded as Independent Supporters of Golowan. FR IE ND N Markets A S O F G O L OW Golowan is big, and benefits local businesses to the tune of over £1 million, but to do this it costs £80,000 a year to run. We have been grateful over the years for the support of the Friends of Golowan fundraising organisation. Now that the festival is back in the hands of the community, over the next few years as funding from Penzance Town Council is reduced, the Friends of Golowan will become more important. We aim to build the Friends from its current base into a major source of funds for the festival, and will be organising fundraising events year-round to support Golowan. The core of the organisation though will remain its membership and we would be really grateful if you would consider joining us, as an individual or an organisation. To join, look out for flyers around town during the festival, or find the membership form via the “Friends” page on the festival website www.golowanfestival.org . Keep an eye on the Independent Supporters of Golowan Facebook group – join it if you haven’t already – to keep up to date with news on Friends of Golowan events. It’s our festival – let’s help it thrive! Photographs by John Stedman food on sale. Don’t forget to support the charities and voluntary groups and to visit our very own Golowan stall this year in the empty shop next to the Cornish Café and opposite the Vault in Market Place, kindly donated by the shop owner and generously sponsored by Penzance and District Tourism Association. We are continuing the tradition of the Golowan Markets on Mazey Day (Saturday 25 June) and Quay Fair Day (Sunday 26 June). This year many of our regular traders, charities and caterers are returning as well as some who are joining us for the very first time. On Mazey Day there will be stalls selling goods of all kinds lining Market Jew Street and also a few in Causewayhead and Chapel Street. Greenmarket Car Park will become Festival Square for the day and will host the ever popular folk stage. The square will also be a place to relax and enjoy a meal from a variety of caterers – sample Cornish, Thai, Mexican and much more. On Quay Fair Day the market will be located on the Quayside. Volunteers Make a real difference to Golowan in 2016. If you have a few hours to spare between Friday 17th June and Sunday 26th June then get in touch. There are lots of things to do: stewarding the processions, collecting donations, helping with the road closures, giving out water during the processions, running the Golowan stall, and more………….. About 120 volunteers every year ensure Golowan is a great success. So get in touch at [email protected] or phone 01736 369686 and be part of the biggest and best community event in the south-west. Two hours of your time makes a big difference and as a thank you every volunteer receives a Golowan T-shirt and refreshments!
