Accessibility
What is Audio Description?
Audio description is a special service for blind and visually impaired cinemagoers. For selected films, a narration track is played through a special headset and fills the gaps between dialogue by describing what’s happening on screen. The track is undetectable to anyone not wearing a headset and so doesn’t affect their viewing experience.
Films that have audio description are labeled next to a film’s time on the website; you can also call our dedicated booking line or ask at the Box Office. If you need the induction loop or a headset, please ask a member of staff when you arrive – we can also recommend the best seats to use in the screen.

What are Hard of Hearing films?
These are screenings with subtitles. Everyone is welcome, and the audio track still plays as usual.
I need assistance to my seat or to know where there is step-free access
If you have any access needs, please ask a member of staff – all of our screens have step-free access.
Do you have Autism-friendly screenings?
We will be introducing these to our programme. These 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, the lights left on low throughout the film and the volume is reduced. There is the freedom to move around, make noise and sit where you like.
