Our relaxed Autism Friendly screenings are adapted in a variety of ways to help reduce anxiety and over-stimulation and ensure a safe, enjoyable cinema experience for people with autism, learning difficulties and/or other sensory sensitivities.

What to expect at the screening

These screenings take place in the morning when the venue is quieter and a number of adaptations will be in place to ensure they are accessible to those within the neurodiverse communities and their families, friends and carers.

The adaptations are:

  • No trailers or advertisements will be shown before the film
  • The lights will be left on low throughout the film
  • The film will be played with a reduced volume
  • You are free to move around, make noise and sit where you like 
  • You are welcome to take a break and leave and re-enter the screen whenever you need to
