Spearheading the regeneration of Merseyside, the centre offers opportunities for the community to be inspired by and engage with creative technology, art and film. The Picturehouse is a central component of FACT, with three state-of-the-art auditoria and a café bar. A varied film programme showcases the very best in independent, art-house, foreign-language and quality mainstream cinema from around the world.

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.
We typically show a new release every second Monday of the month.
Whilst we do our best to ensure these screenings happen consistently, please note that on occasion the regular slot may change. Make sure to check local listings ahead of your screening.
