This Halloween, step inside the magnificent Rochdale Town Hall for a thrilling night of silent cinema, gothic horror, and live music!

On the big screen: Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1920), the classic silent horror starring the legendary John Barrymore in one of cinema’s most extraordinary early transformations.

By day, Dr Henry Jekyll is a respected physician, fascinated by the struggle between good and evil within us all. But when his experiments unleash his darker self - the sinister and increasingly uncontrollable Mr Hyde - the respectable streets of Victorian London become the hunting ground for a monster…

And on Halloween night, this century-old tale will be brought spectacularly back to life by acclaimed organist Aaron Hawthorne, returning for his 3rd annual visit to Rochdale Town Hall, performing a completely live accompaniment on the mighty pipe organ in the grand hall. 

Expect thunderous drama, eerie whispers, spine-tingling suspense and all the excitement of experiencing a silent film as audiences did in the early days of cinema, with every moment underscored live before your eyes and ears! 

Whether you're a horror fan, a film lover, an organ enthusiast, or simply looking for something brilliantly different to do this Halloween, this promises to be a memorable night in one of Rochdale’s most spectacular surroundings.

And because it’s Halloween… fancy dress is highly encouraged! 🎃
Victorian villains, mad scientists, ghosts, ghouls, monsters, and creatures of the night, come dressed to impress… if you dare!
