Imagine going to the cinema and becoming part of a pop-up orchestra who create sound FX and a musical soundtrack!

Each Enchanted Cinema show starts with a warm up led by a professional musician using your voice, hands and feet before moving onto shakers, cymbals, recorders, guiros, a gong, xylophone and other ingenious foley FX to create the magical soundtrack.

Animation from the last century includes classic scenes from Studio Ghibli films such as My Neighbour Totoro, or stunning cut-out animation by Lotte Reineger from 1926, or beautifully-crafted, award-winning animation from the 1960s and 70s.

The show is ideal for children aged 4+ and their grown-ups who team up to become the magical orchestra. Please keep all phones in bags.

The Enchanted Cinema is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

Recommended age 4+

Relaxed Performance

11am will be a relaxed performance with quiet breakout space. We can reduce PA sounds but live instruments will still be noisy – we recommend that people with sensory needs bring ear defenders, or we have some available to borrow from box office.
