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, Lon Chaney’s legendary Phantom returns to 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.
Live music you can feel: The organ’s power and nuance bring suspense, romance and drama to life in real time.
A shared event: Experience the gasps, laughs and quiet hush of a crowd discovering (or rediscovering) a masterpiece together.
Who will enjoy it
Film lovers curious about silent cinema done right
Music fans keen to hear a concert-level performance
Friends planning a memorable night out
Couples looking for an unforgettable date
Anyone who enjoys a good story told with style and atmosphere
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, the Phantom’s world - mystery, obsession and the dark allure of the Paris Opera House - feels close enough to touch. It’s cinema, concert and historic venue all in one.
There may even be a few surprises along the way…
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.
