After a sell out for the last year, our screening of The Snowman with live accompaniment from The Kirkintilloch Band, has become a popular part of our annual Winter Festival. Join us again this Christmas for another special screening of the classic animated film with the fabulous live musical accompaniment.

When a young boy starts making a snowman on Christmas, it magically comes to life. The snowman then takes him on a journey to meet Santa Claus.

This classic family Christmas film comes to our big screen with a live accompaniment from The Kirkintilloch Brass Band. Before the film the band will be regaling us with some classic Christmas tunes before treating us to the iconic soundtrack of Raymond Briggs’ timeless tale of a boy and his snowman, alongside the film.

Available to book online or by calling Lanark Memorial Hall on 01555 673199.

Cost: £12.00 / £7.50 concession (subject to £1.50 transaction fee)
