A nostalgic evening of ‘Dulverton & Exmoor on Film’ is a one-off special event showing remarkable clips of old cine film of Dulverton and Exmoor – coming soon to Dulverton Town Hall.

Enjoy a very special event in Dulverton on the evening on Friday 25 October – an opportunity to look back across very many years of cine film and view some remarkable clips of film featuring Dulverton and Exmoor from as long ago as the 1930s! Tickets are selling fast. You won’t want to miss this!

Enjoy a fun evening of reminiscing and marvelling at some amazing moments captured on film over the years, such as:

• Sheep shearing in Wheddon Cross in 1938, when the shears were hand cranked and a bottle of beer was essential to keep the shearers going!
• The wonderful Minehead Lido in in the 1930s, with divers and synchronised swimmers enjoying the facilities.
• Will you recall the Wild West amateur dramatic production in Dulverton Town Hall in 1970? Perhaps you were one of the cancan dancers?!

Amateur film makers have been attracted to the beauty and character of Dulverton and Exmoor since the invention of the cine camera in the 1920s.  Join us for a spectacular evening of nostalgia when television programme maker David Parker will be showing some of the best of the home movies he has been using in films about the moor for the last 30 years.

The ‘Dulverton & Exmoor on Film’ evening is a special event linked to November’s Dulverton Exmoor Literary Festival 2024.  Taking place in Dulverton Town Hall from 7 to 9.30pm on Friday 25 October, tickets are £8 and can be purchased HERE or in person from the Dulverton Town Hall Thrift Shop (open Monday to Saturday 10.30 – 2.30).
