Dust down your best Scottish accent, dress up as your favourite pagan characters (or a Christian copper if you dare) and come join in with the songs, bottom-slapping and dialogue of this cult horror film and its haunting soundtrack.
Hosted by performer David Bramwell and singer Eliza Skelton, Sing-along-a-Wicker Man! combines live music, audience participation, sing-alongs, bottom-slapping and other Wicker Man-themed silliness.
Your hosts will get your voices warmed up with some live music, lead you through the actions and words, then, at the Witching Hour, you'll be given a "Pagan Hymn Book", featuring the words to all the songs in the film, and a goody bag full of mystery items, the film will roll, let the singalong commence, and may god have mercy on your soul!
A must for all Wicker Man fans. Audiences are encouraged to attend dressed as their favourite character from the film. Prizes for best costumes!
"Frankly genius!" - The Guardian
"Thoroughly enjoyable" - Wicker Man Director Robin Hardy
