Kernewek Keskesow Cabaret by Scary Little Girls & Greenham Women Everywhere

Kernewek Keskesow Cabaret by Scary Little Girls & Greenham Women Everywhere

In September 1981, a group of women marched from Cardiff to RAF Greenham Common to protest the siting of American cruise missiles on British soil. What began as a ten-day walk became a 19-year occupation that changed the face of peaceful protest forever. Women from across Britain—including many from Cornwall—left their homes, their jobs, sometimes their families, to live in benders and tents through every weather, facing arrest, eviction and hostility, united by the belief that they could change the world. And they did.

Now, Scary Little Girls and Greenham Women Everywhere CIC invite you to an evening celebrating the extraordinary contribution Cornish women made to this iconic movement.

Join us for a cabaret night filled with songs and stories from Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp. Through verbatim theatre and music, performers including Rebecca Mordan (Artistic Director of Scary Little Girls and co-founder of the Greenham Women Everywhere archive project) alongside Cornish bards Bec Applebee and Fiona O'Cleirigh will share the tales of the peace women—in both Cornish and English—creating an evening of rousing performances that honours their courage, creativity and defiance.

Scary Little Girls is one of the UK's longest-established feminist theatre companies, founded over twenty years ago to tell underrepresented stories and amplify voices less heard. In 2018, with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, they partnered with The Heroine Collective to create the Greenham Women Everywhere project—recording nearly 100 oral testimonies from women who lived at the Peace Camp. This has become the largest collection of Greenham testimonies ever made publicly available, ensuring these vital stories are preserved for future generations.

Greenham Women Everywhere CIC continues this legacy, bringing the spirit of Greenham to communities across the UK through exhibitions, sing-alongs, and events that connect generations of activists.

Whether you were there, you remember watching it on the news, or you're discovering this remarkable piece of women's history for the first time, this is an evening to honour the women who proved that peaceful, creative resistance can move the world.

Food will be available.
