Kind member folk, please head over to Summerisle on Saturday 11 January for your appointment with the Wicker Man. We’re celebrating our latest season - Visions in Ruins: British Cinema 1970-1980 - with a special winter festival, to ensure a bountiful harvest (of films) for the year to come. Don your favourite mask, colourful ribbons, or flower garland, and join us for an abundance of frolicking, chanting, and more..
We will provide lashings of ale, a traditional folk performance by Glass Eel, and of course, a screening of our member cult’s classic The Wicker Man.
Tickets are £18.50 each and restricted to 2 per member, meaning you can bring a live offering to be inducted into the Garden Cinema community. Your ticket will include an unallocated seat for the music performance & screening, as well as a complimentary beer of your choice, with non-alcoholic alternatives available for any puritans.

About Glass Eel:
Glass Eel is the latest project from Alice Western, a folk musician and songwriter. Drawing on her work with the English Folk Dance and Song Society, Alice combines the storytelling heart of traditional music with bold, original compositions. Their debut single 'The Line' is set for release this January. Produced by Seth Evans and Margo Broom at RAK Studios, the track introduces Glass Eel’s raw, contemporary sound. A 16mm black-and-white music video, created by band member and filmmaker Hannah McLoughlin, will accompany the release.
