Events

This is the third meeting of our Summer School 'A Celtic Hobbit'. Meetings will be on-line by Zoom at 20:00 every Thursday through July and August 2025. We're reading J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit in the Cornish translation by Nicholas Williams (An Hobys, published by Evertype), both to enjoy the story and to improve everyone's fluency in Cornish. There will also be the opportunity to make comparisons with the Irish translation by Nicholas Williams (An Hobad, published by Evertype), the Scottish Gaelic translation by Moray Watson (A' Hobat, published by Evertype), the Breton translation by Alan Dipode and Joshua Tyra (An Hobbit, published by Evertype), and the Welsh translation by Adam Pearce (Yr Hobyd, published by Melin Bapur). The convenor is Ian Jackson. There is no charge for the Summer School, but students should provide their own copies of the book. Contact Us if you would like to join the Summer School.
