The summer solstice will be a special one this year, as a restored version of the Wicker Man will be returning to the cinemas.

Widely regarded as one of the best British horror films, The Wicker Man very nearly sank into obscurity shortly after being made. The story concerns a devout Christian police officer’s journey to a remote Scottish island to investigate the case of a missing child. He instead finds a community that has renounced Christianity in favour of pagan fertility rites.

The search for the fabled missing scenes has only added to the myth surrounding a film that still inspires filmmakers to this day.

Reborn in 4K, The Wicker Man: The Final Cut will return to UK cinemas this Summer Solstice, June 21st with a series of special one night only screenings that will feature screening from the 50th Anniversary event that took place earlier this month.

Lots of mainstream cinemas are showing the film, but double-check if they are also including the additional anniversary event screening before booking tickets.

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.

It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.

Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
