Sing-Along-A Wicker Man

A participatory screening of The Wicker Man at The Old Woollen in Leeds, where the audience sings, performs actions and speaks along with the horror classic, with costumes encouraged.

This session turns the horror classic directed by Robin Hardy into a shared performance. Rather than watching in silence, the audience learns the moves for the songs, calls back the dialogue and may come in costume, with prizes offered for the best outfit. The hosts, Lord Summerisle and Willow McGregor, open with some live music and hand every guest a goody bag before the film begins.

This performance premieres a new final cut of the film, a fiftieth anniversary edit from 2023 with extra songs, an additional item in the goody bag and more blood sacrifice than the earlier version. Those who come in fancy dress or simply want to take part in the singing will get the most from the evening's format, while anyone who prefers a quiet viewing should look elsewhere.

Dr David Bramwell also presents a separate solo show, From Shaman to Starman, at The Old Woollen, so the venue is well suited to visitors who want more than one event during their stay in Leeds.
