The Wild Tour

A Film by Bevis Bowden

In May 2021, Daniel Bye and Boff Whalley set off from Northam Burrows, on Devon's north coast.

They aimed to run 120 miles to the south coast, finishing in Dartmouth. They stopped along the way in fields, farm yards, chapels, barns and orchards, to perform their show These Hills Are Ours.

This is the story of what they found - about the relationship between wild and controlled, about land ownership and about how far we are prepared to go for what we believe in.

The Wild Tour was a celebration of everything we'd all been unable to do during the lockdowns: perform live, sing together, and run in places too wild to be accessible from our front doors.

It's a comeback tour with a difference.

The Wild Tour premiered at last year’s Hinterlands Film Festival and has toured extensively since.

Premiere: The Pitch Filmmaking Workshops

During the Michaelmas term three filmmaking workshops took place in the Fellows Garden. Each workshop group produced, filmed and edited a short film. This is an opportunity to watch the three diverse films that were made.

CDs of These Hills Are Ours by Daniel Bye and Boff Whalley available to purchase.
