Soul Caking

Souling or Soulcaking is a tradition in the North-West of England characterised by performances of traditional mumming plays which -- in addition to the usual sword-fight and revival of a combatant -- feature a wild hobby horse. This video features clips of the Warburton, Comberbach and Antrobus Soul Cakers, and was shot at various pubs in the Knutsford area on the 2nd November 2012.
