Our Relaxed Screenings and Performances are designed for audience members with a wide range of needs, for those on the autistic spectrum or anyone who feels they would benefit from a more relaxed theatre and cinema environment.
For Relaxed Screenings the film soundtrack volume is reduced and low lights are left on. It is fine for audience members to make noise or move around. Keep an eye out for these screenings marked on our website and film brochures.
