The Wicker Man, starring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Ingrid Pitt and Christopher Lee is the quintessential Galloway film - though the tourist board may disagree ("A warm welcome awaits").

This event took place on Wednesday 24 June, as part of our #WigtownWednesdays programme.

A Midsummer’s night event discussing the film with two of its fans, Rev Richard Coles (ex of The Communards and now of BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live), who sees the film as study of comparative religion (this may or may not be a joke), and book-loving comedian Robin Ince.
The event was followed by a tweet-along screening of the film.
