"Stories From The Hopyard"

Our next meeting on Friday 15th February 2019 at 7pm in Cusop Village Hall will be the acclaimed locally made film "Stories From The Hopyard". Free to members, £3 for non-members. (1 hour 30 mins). Refreshments available.

From the makers of “Chewing The Cud: Memories from Hereford’s old livestock market” comes a brand-new heritage film about the glorious traditions of hop picking in the county. With their distinctive aroma and connections to beer and the turning of the seasons, this film mixes archive photographs, films and newly recorded oral history interviews from farmers, traders, pickers and brewers. With the renaissance of interest in hops, we listen to stories of days past and present from Herefordians, people from South Wales, the Black Country, Polish migrant workers and Gypsy Roma travellers. This film is a part of the ‘Herefordshire Life Through A Lens’ project.
