If you’ve been missing the magic of the movies since the Oban Phoenix Cinema closed its doors, you’re not alone. For years, it was a special place for locals and visitors alike to catch everything from the latest blockbusters to quirky indie gems. Since its closure, there’s definitely been a gap - especially on those rainy days when all you want is a cosy seat, some popcorn, and a great film.
Thankfully, The Rockfield Centre has stepped up to bring a touch of cinema magic back to Oban - and they’re doing it with heart, creativity, and a strong sense of community.
Cinema experience: A Perfect Rainy Day Plan in Oban ☔
Let’s be honest – the West Coast weather hasn’t been on its best behaviour lately. Stormy skies and sideways rain might not be ideal for beach days or boat trips, but they’re perfect for slowing down and enjoying something indoors.
If you're in town next week (or lucky enough to live locally), there's a brilliant little event happening at the Rockfield Centre that’s ideal for families or anyone looking for something a bit different.
🎨 Animation Workshop + Film Screening
On Tuesday 15th August, the Rockfield team is hosting a Kids Club Animation Workshop followed by a special screening of the beautiful animated film Flow.
The workshop is a fantastic hands-on opportunity for children to learn the basics of animation in a fun, creative setting. They'll get to explore movement, storytelling, and visual design – and best of all, they’ll see their own ideas come to life on screen.
After the workshop, everyone is invited to settle in and enjoy Flow, a stunning animated film with no dialogue, making it perfect for all ages and backgrounds. It’s a gentle, heartwarming story told entirely through movement, colour and expression – and a perfect example of how powerful visual storytelling can be.
Why We Love It
Events like this are what make Oban such a special place to visit. It’s not just about the scenery (though the views are pretty amazing) – it’s about the people, the community, and the creative energy that flows through venues like the Rockfield Centre.
By going along, you’re not only treating yourself to a lovely afternoon – you’re also helping to support local events, arts, and venues that keep Oban’s cultural life vibrant and welcoming for everyone.
