The Gorsedh is a non-political, non affiliated to any religion, non-profit-making organisation. It exists to maintain the national Celtic spirit of Cornwall, to promote the study of literature, art, music and history; the study and use of the Cornish language; to maintain and nurture links with other Celtic cultures and to provide a forum and encouragement to all who work to further these aims.
