Somerset Yarning is a beautifully crafted short film by artist Trevor Pitt, that offers a quiet, meditative portrait of rural life and skilled craftsmanship in Somerset. Commissioned by Somerset Art Works and South West Heritage Trust, this evocative film immerses audiences in the sensory world of sheep farming and fleece preparation, telling stories of tradition, care, and connection to the land.
Originally created for the 2024 exhibition Spinning a Yarn at the Somerset Rural Life Museum, Somerset Yarning has been recut and reimagined for wider audiences. The film will tour cinemas, festivals, and community venues across Somerset and the South West throughout 2025. Organised by Somerset Art Works, the tour began at Fernhill Farm in March 2025 and continues to visit locations across the region, including places where the film was originally shot.
