Film screenings especially for people on the autism spectrum or with other special needs and their families, friends and carers.
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.
The full list of our upcoming screenings can be found here. Screenings are updated regularly.
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:
