Event
Information
The Cornish Sacred Landscape is a multi-day gathering bringing together art, ritual, music, and talks inspired by the ancient sites, folklore, and spiritual traditions of Cornwall.
The exhibition centres on work that responds directly to Cornwall’s sacred and mythic landscape. Each artist draws inspiration from specific ancient sites, local folklore, or the unseen qualities of place , exploring stone circles, standing stones, holy wells, and the stories and energies connected to them.
Alongside the exhibition, the event features a programme of talks from knowledgeable speakers, live sound performances, spoken word, and ritual offerings. There will be a mixture of structured sessions and more informal moments, with music and DJs weaving throughout the experience.
A dedicated neurodivergent-friendly day will form part of the programme on Sunday 21st June, offering a calmer, more accessible environment with a focus on inclusion and wellbeing.
This is a non-profit, artist-led event, created to share work beyond the limits of traditional gallery spaces and to bring people together around a shared connection to Cornwall’s beautiful ancient landscape.

About Us
Carn Crescent Crow is a Cornwall-based creative collective bringing together artists, performers and creatives inspired by Cornish culture, folklore, nature and a deeper sense of connection , to place, to eachother and to the mysteries of life.
Unity in diversity
We believe in unity in diversity, and in creating spaces where people can come together while still being fully themselves. Our work is rooted in the idea that creativity should be accessible and inclusive, especially for those who may feel a little outside of mainstream spaces ,whether through their interests, ways of thinking, or personal circumstances.
Community and Connection
At the heart of Carn Crescent Crow is a desire to support and connect. We aim to create welcoming, low-pressure environments where people can build community with like-minded individuals, share their creativity, and feel valued without expectation or judgement.
Nature, place and belonging
We hold a deep respect for the Cornish ancient landscape and the natural environments around us. We see these spaces as important not only in themselves, but as places that have long brought people together and continue to hold a sense of shared history and community.
We believe there is value in reconnecting with these environments in a more mindful and creative way, and in recognising their role in shaping a sense of belonging and the connections they can foster between people.
Events and what we do
Our upcoming event exploring the Cornish sacred landscape is a non-profit, community-led gathering bringing together art, talks, music and ceremony. As part of this, we are hosting a neurodivergent-friendly day, designed to be more relaxed, accessible and gently paced, so that more people can feel comfortable taking part...
We are hoping to grow something rooted in both creativity and care, connecting people to place and to each other.
