FILMING THE HALSTOW WASSAIL
The Halstow Wassail takes place each year on a Devon cider farm that has been in the Gray family since the late 1600s.
Featuring singer- songwriter Jim Causley, Dartmoor folk singer Bill Murray, and the shanty crew Mariners Away, the film in a single uninterrupted camera shot documents this traditional event.
The Halstow Wassail was filmed at Gray’s Devon Cider.
The event was beautifully documented by the photographer Robert Darch.
