Our 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, and their families, friends and carers.
Adjustments include:
• no trailers or advertisements
• lights left on low throughout the film
• reduced volume
• freedom to move around, make noise and sit where you like
• you are welcome to take a break and leave the screen whenever you need to
• tickets are at the reduced rate of £2.50 per person
• a relaxed and welcoming environment where staff are sensitive to the needs of children and families with autism
Our upcoming Autism Friendly screenings are…

The Secret Life Of Pets 2 (PG)
Director: Chris Renaud Jonathan del Val
Starring: Harrison Ford, Tiffany Haddish, Patton Oswalt, Kevin Hart
Duration: 86 min
Packed with irreverence and subversive humour, the animated story of the secret lives of pets continues with new challenges for Max, Gidget, Snowball and the gang to contend with. For terrier Max, it’s ditching his anxiety about protecting his owner’s toddler; for Pomeranian Gidget, it’s rescuing Max’s favourite toy from a flat full of felines; and for crazy-but-cute bunny Snowball, it’s being a hero after only pretending to be one. Can our furry friends summon the courage to face their biggest fears?
