The Salt Path (in-person only)

Gillian Anderson, Jason Isaacs, James Lance, Hermione Norris

What do you do when you’re in your 50s, lose all your worldly possessions and receive a devastating medical diagnosis? Potentially, you decide to walk the South West Coast Path – stretching from Minehead in Somerset through north Devon, Cornwall and south Devon to Poole in Dorset – a 630-mile trek equivalent to climbing Mount Everest four times.

Gillian Armstrong and Jason Isaacs star in Tony Award-winning theatre director Marianne Elliott’s film debut as Raynor and Moth Winn, the couple who decided to travel the south west’s famously gorgeous rugged coastline in search of solace after a combination of crises in their lives, as captured in Raynor’s prize-winning memoir of the same name. Though emotionally and physically challenging, the journey also proves exhilarating and liberating, giving Raynor and Moth a renewed vitality and a deeper connection to both the natural world and each other. Featuring understated performances from Armstrong and Isaacs and immersive cinematography and sound design, The Salt Path is an affecting, rewarding portrait of mid-life loss and rebirth.
