Silent cinema, a darkened church and a roaring organ - it's Lanarkshire's spookiest night out!

Trade a routine movie night for a uniquely immersive experience in one of Lanarkshire's most atmospheric spaces. In the candlelit glow of Bothwell Parish Church, the original cinematic vampire appears on the big screen, while the church’s magnificent digital pipe organ fills the nave with a thrilling live soundtrack, performed by international award-winning organist Aaron Hawthorne.

What makes this special

Iconic film, unforgettable setting: See a classic of early cinema in a centuries-old church; story and setting amplify each other.

What to expect

Settle into the grandeur of the church as the lights dip and the first frames flicker to life. As themes swell and shadows play across stone, Count Orlok's world - mystery, obsession and dark allure - feels close enough to touch. It’s cinema, concert and historic venue all in one.

Rating: PG. With the live organ and evocative surroundings, it may feel a touch scarier than a standard screening.Capacity is limited—book early to secure your seat.
