Here's a unique opportunity to spend some time at Bannerman Castle and view the first ever movie shown on the island. The classic film Dracula will be screened on Friday September 8th at the private residence and anyone in on the movie will also get a tour of the island.

Dracula stars the legendary Bela Legosi as Count Dracula, who arrives to London and starts doing what vampires do.

Additional events happening on the island include a Farm Fresh dinner and showing of The Bride of Frankenstein the following weekend.

The Bannerman Island Trust continues to accept donations to stabilize and improve the existing buildings in use.

Did you know: While it's commonly known as Bannerman Island, Bannerman is in fact the name of the castle. The proper name is Pollepel Island and is thought to have been originally named for a young girl who got stranded on the island.
