FRIDAY NIGHT IS MUSIC NIGHT
Join us every Friday Night at 9pm (Bar open from 8pm) for a fantastic night of live music. Our bar is open until midnight with a delicious selection of cocktails plus wines, Welsh ales and ciders, lagers and a great range of spirits!
Every Friday is different – on the first Friday of every month it’s the Open Mic Night, and we welcome a host of local musicians to the stage.
Every other Friday could range from 50’s rock and roll to punk metal, from Ska bands to Classical Harpists, party bands to folk music.
We welcome all genres and always want to support new bands and musicians. If you would like to play at one of our Friday nights, please contact us.
OPEN MIC NIGHT
Join us on the first Friday of every month for our Open Mic Night. This is always a fantastic night of live music from talented local musicians, and frequently visitors from further afield. Tickets are £3 or free if you have attended the film beforehand, if you’re a member, or if you’re performing.
If you are a performer who would like to play at the open mic it is essential to book a slot as we are frequently oversubscribed. This is a music night only, not spoken word or comedy and our only rule is that all vocal performers must be accompanied by live instruments (no backing tracks or acapella solos) Performers – Get in touch here to book a 15 min slot.
Here at the Magic Lantern, we pride ourselves on being more than just a cinema venue. We’ve extended our main stage, invested in lighting and sound equipment, and expanded our food and drinks menu to offer both our community and visitors a truly unique experience.
From children-focused activities to ceilidhs, from workshops to community events, and from music concerts to our legendary film-themed party nights, we create something for everyone.
Below, you’ll find details of our upcoming special events. And don’t forget to visit our photo gallery to see everything we’ve achieved so far!
In addition to films, we are proud to support stage plays and musicals by presenting a rich programme of productions on the big screen. These include live streams from the National Theatre and other iconic venues, the World’s Greatest Musicals season, and much more!

If you are only coming for lunch please pop in, phone or email to let us know so we can make sure we have enough soup!
The Magic Lantern wants to make sure everyone feels welcome. We currently have two types of accessible screenings, but we are always looking for ways to improve our venue to accommodate for people with additional needs. If you have any suggestions or want to chat to us about what we can do to improve, please don’t hesitate to contact us - we would really love to hear from you. Drop us an email here
Hard of Hearing (or Descriptive Subtitles)
Every Monday evening our film will have descriptive subtitles. This means that in addition to the dialogue being subtitled (as with a foreign language film) the sounds of the film are also described in the subtitles. For example (joyful music plays) or (gunshots in background)
Relaxed Screenings
During our Relaxed Screenings, we relax our Code of Conduct. We appreciate not everyone wants to sit still for a long time in complete darkness and that the ‘normal’ level of sound in a cinema may be a bit much for some.

Do you love films, and love talking about films? Then why not join our Magic Lantern Film Club!
Our Film Club is a regular chance for people who love films to get together to discuss them.
Every month, we pick a few titles from our main programme, and meet to chat about it after the screening. The bar will remain open for those who fancy a drink.
We welcome anyone with a passion for films, from enthusiasts to aficionados or even someone who knows nothing about films except they enjoy watching them! We hold friendly and informal conversations, while also providing some extra information about the film, the cast and the director where relevant.
If you are on Facebook, you can join our Film Club Group. We use this group to learn more about what type of films you like the most, for sharing additional insights about the films we choose, as well as any suggestions you may have.
You can also email us at lanternfilmclub@gmail.com.
