About The Snowman with Pop-Up Interactive Orchestra

Get ready for an interactive film screening of a Christmas classic!

This fun and interactive event gives you the opportunity to join a lively pop-up orchestra workshop, which begins with a vocal warm up to the unforgettable classic Walking in the Air. From here you’ll bring the story to life by helping the workshop leader/musician to create sound FX for different images in the film such as an owl, a music box, a toothbrush and walking through snow.

The 30 minute workshop is followed by Dianne Jackson’s magical animation (also 30 minutes). It’s a joyful celebration of creativity and holiday spirit that you won’t want to miss!

About the show

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. Every show has a few noisy parts, in case this helps. 

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

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

I don’t have a child - can I still come?

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