About this event

We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Abney Park Trust & Film London at the Delph Room, Abney Cemetery – one of London’s Magnificent Seven Cemeteries.

On Sunday Sept 28th and Oct 12th, we invite all ages to become a pop-up orchestra with The Enchanted Cinema’s interactive show featuring stunning scenes from The Red Turtle (2016) and our favourite two scenes from My Neighbour Totoro (Catbus & Flying Sequence).

We start with a fun warm-up using our hands and voices before kids and grown-ups team up with instruments – Indian gopichand, South American butterfly charango, turtle drums, lyre harp, zaphir chimes, gong, bird flutes, ocarinas, bamboo canes and more – to create a live score to the Red Turtle's mysterious island followed by Totoro!

11– Red Turtle + Totoro (Interactive Cinema Event – All Ages)

1215 – join us at the front to try out instruments.

1230 - end

Please note - we kindly request shoes to be left at entrance.

Frequently asked questions

Does every child get to do something?

If they want to – yes! Just make sure we know if you need a sound FX/ instrument by raising your hand.

My child might not want to join in.

No problem at all! Many children like to sit back and watch or join in with bits and bobs. It’s very much a team effort so they shouldn’t feel too much on the spot if they do or don’t join in.

My child has additional needs.

Our shows are very inclusive and kids with additional or SEND enjoy them a lot. Shows have several noisy parts, in case this helps.

Can my child try out instruments if they didn’t get a chance to?

Yes! At the end (and given time), we warmly invite children up to stage to try out different instruments.

Can I take photos?

Phones off and tucked away please, but please feel free take pics of your child with instruments at the end.

I don’t have / can’t borrow a child – can I still come?

Absolutely! The Enchanted Cinema is for lovers of animation, live music & live foley FX of all ages.

Is there somewhere to give feedback?

Indeed! We have a public comments book and also a google form (linked on our website). We value all feedback.
