On Monday 6 March 2023 children participating in Bodmin’s St Piran’s Day celebrations will be given the usual pasty lunch, but this year each child will be given a reusable bottle for their water. Up to 400 children will attend and contribute to the celebration.

PFB, Bodmin Way and Bodmin Life jointly ran a logo design competition in the autumn. Fabulous entries were received and the winning design, by Merix Robins, is printed on the bottles, by Rocket Pixels Ltd, who gave design input as well as printing expertise.
