Where The Wild Things Are

24th May 2026

ARK - Cliftonville Cultural Space

The Enchanted Cinema presents Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are at ARK, Cliftonville's Cultural Space

12 noon - 1pm & 2pm - 3pm

An interactive, enchanted cinema experience for wild things of all ages.

Before the lights dim, we return to the moment this story was born — when Maurice Sendak transformed childhood mischief and big feelings into a book that changed how we see children forever.

Then, the wild rumpus begins.

Hands, voices and instruments from around the world awaken as children and grown-ups become a living orchestra, creating the soundtrack live as the film unfolds. Forests rustle, monsters roar, oceans swell.

Featuring hand-crafted instruments made by young people from the Wilderwoods Education Initiative, alongside instruments from four continents, and led by professional musicians Celeste (trumpet) and Kieron (viola, keyboard).

For ages 5+. Please keep phones tucked away — this is a screen-free wild rumpus.

Supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
