Stafford Film Theatre – The Salt Path

Marianne Elliott / UK 2024 / 115 min / Cert 12A

The glorious scenery of the South West Coast Path forms the backdrop to this profound true story of a 630-mile trek along the Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline.

After being forcibly removed from their home, husband and wife, Raynor and Moth Winn make the desperate decision to walk in the hope that, in nature, they will find solace.

With only a tent and very few resources, every step along the path is a testament to their growing strength and determination. A portrayal of home, how it can be lost and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways.

The connection we’ve built with the audience over the years is incredible; they know we’re keeping the iconic music of The Dubliners alive with the same passion that they have for it. I think it’s why the show has become the world’s biggest celebration of The Dubliners over the past decade.”
