Community Assembly of Penzance
Serving, supporting and protecting our local community
About Us

The Community Assembly of Penzance (Cornish: Pennsans) is located in a town, civil parish and port in the Penwith district of Kernow in the British Isles. It is the westernmost major town in Kernow, situated in the shelter of Mount's Bay. The town faces south-east onto the English Channel and is bordered to the west by the fishing port of Newlyn to the north by the civil parish of Madron and, to the east, by the civil parish of Ludgvan. The civil parish includes the town of Newlyn and the villages of Mousehole, Paul, Gulval, and Heamoor.


Penzance is the base of the pirates in Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera The Pirates of Penzance. At the time the libretto was written, 1879, Penzance had become popular as a peaceful resort town, so the idea of it being overrun by pirates was amusing to contemporaries.

Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
