About: Guldize

An Entity of Type: societal event, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Guldize, Gooldize (sometimes Dicklydize or Nickly Thize) is the harvest festival of the Cornish people. Guldize is an anglicization of Cornish Gool dheys "the feast of ricks" (i.e., grain stacks). The festival was held at the end of the wheat harvest and took the form of a vast feast usually around the time of the autumnal equinox. The ceremony of Crying The Neck took place before the feast, the neck being formed into a Corn dolly, which presided over the celebrations. Since 2008 a revived Guldize celebration has been held in Penzance and since 2010 in several other locations across Cornwall.
