RELAXED SCREENINGS


Relaxed screenings are specially designed to make cinema-going easier and more accessible to those who may need additional support when they visit.


These screenings are ideal for neurodivergent audiences of all ages, those living with dementia, and their families, friends, and carers, but all are welcome.


Relaxed screenings will show films without adverts or trailers. Lights are left on low, the volume is reduced, and the audience is free to move around and take breaks from the screen whenever needed. Films will screen with captions where possible.
