Our dementia-friendly screenings take place every second Wednesday of the month.

The film starts at 11am, and our cafe and facilities are be open from 10am for early arrivals, tea, coffee & cake!

As with all our accessible screenings, carers go free.

We’re a dementia-friendly venue and all our staff have been dementia trained via the Alzheimer’s Society. We’ve adapted the space and made adjustments to make sure the space is as safe, helpful, and happy as possible.

This includes:

Additional signage

No adverts or trailers

Lights are left on dim and volume is turned down

The cinema isn’t filled to capacity

Relaxed – eg attendees can sing, dance or talk during the film

15 min interval

Extra cushions & alternative seating available

If you have any questions email us, or sign up for our newsletter to hear about forthcoming screenings!

Accessibility:
Please be aware, the cinema is on the first floor and there is no lift. We do have a medium-wide (1100mm) stairwell with handrails on both sides, and we’ve had several guests with limited mobility join us for films. However it does rely on walking up the stairs (with assistance as required).

Our staff will be ready to lend a hand wherever needed.

Please see here for our Accessibility Document.

A chance for parents and carers with babies under a year old to see the best new films.

The cafe is open from 10am, and the films begin at 11am. The sound is turned down a little, and the lights kept up a little. We'll also help you upstairs with your buggy!

(Please note that due to the need to keep our fire exits accessible, buggies are parked in the bar, where we have staff and CCTV, while the film is on)

Only adults accompanied by babies will be admitted.

Come with us on an adventure through space and time as we explore the outer reaches of the universe in our Summer Of Sci-Fi season!

Wherever possible we play films with the audio description soundtrack. These films are listed below, and can be recognised by the [AD] image beside the film title.

A film with an audio description soundtrack means that we can supply you with headphones for the duration of the film which will relay a special soundtrack with full description of events happening on screen. This means that anyone with visual impairment or other needs can fully enjoy the film.

An audio description soundtrack has no affect whatsoever to anyone without the headphones; it's just like a regular film.

HOH subtitles, or ‘closed captioning’, refers to subtitles specifically intended for people who are Deaf or hard of hearing. They are a transcription rather than a translation, so as well as reproducing dialogue in films, aim to describe every additional non-dialogue sound available to a hearing audience, e.g. “(sighs)” or “(door creaks)” and song lyrics. These subtitles are hard-coded onto the screen. All guests are welcome to purchase tickets to these screenings and in our experience, hearing guests at these performances do not find the subtitles to be distracting at all.

Wherever possible, we play films with the Amplified Audio soundtrack. These films are listed below and can be recognised by the [AA] image beside the film title.

A film with an amplified audio soundtrack is specifically intended for people with hearing impairment. It means that we can supply you with headphones for the duration of the film, and you can turn up the volume as much as you need. 

An amplified audio soundtrack has no affect whatsoever on anyone without the headphones; it's just like a regular film.

Relaxed screenings offer a chance to see films in a relaxed environment and are open to everyone to attend, but are especially tailored for those with autism or others with sensory needs, as well as their friends, family and carers. Relaxed screenings are scheduled every second Sunday of the month.

Look at our Photo social story and read our Access Statement which can be used to see the venue before your visit. There is also a 3D tour of the cinema available here.

What’s different about these screenings?

The sound is lower than usual (we also have ear defenders available), the lights are kept on low, seats are not allocated, the cinema screening is filled to a maximum capacity of 75%.It’s ok to move around or walk out of the screen if you need a break. It’s ok to make noise if you need.

Our staff have all received Dimensions UK training, and we’ll make sure it’s a friendly, welcoming and safe environment.

28 Years Later
The third installment in the acclaimed post-apocalyptic horror franchise, directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, both returning from the original 28 Days Later. It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory. Still living in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amid the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of them decides to venture into the dark heart of the mainland, he soon discovers a mutation that has spread to not only the infected, but other survivors as well.

F1 The Movie
Dubbed 'the greatest that never was', Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was Formula 1’s most promising racer of the 1990s – until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling Formula 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to Formula 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team's hotshot rookie, intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in Formula 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition—and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone. Shot during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competes against the titans of the sport, Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski brings the same death-defying, edge-of-the-seat thrills to the world of racing in F1: The Movie.

The Matrix + Pride Month Afterparty
Which pill will you take? Wrapping up our 2025 Pride Programme, we have the 1999 cult classic The Matrix by the Wachowski Sisters, with an afterparty in the bar ft. DJ sets & cocktails. The Matrix tells a tale of a computer hacker's reality turning upside down when he discoveres 'the truth'. This super stylish 90's Sci-FI is often cited as trans-allegory, not only because both of the directors are transgender but because the themes of simulated realiy, dysphoria, truth & transformation struck a chord within the gender queer community. Dress in your favourite leather trench coat & slick back that hair - the truth will set you free. Screening 18:30-20:45, Party 21:00-00:30.

CAMP CLASSICS presents: Spice World (1997)
Welcome to CAMP CLASSICS, where we celebrate the films that queer culture has embraced for their unapologetic camp, iconic performances, and unforgettable style. Each screening dives into the movies that have become queer cultural staples—whether they were made with us in mind or not. This month we’re spotlighting Spice World (1997), directed by Bob Spiers. Imagine A Hard Day’s Night got a glitter bomb makeover and took a sharp left into absurdist pop culture chaos—now add platform boots. This delightfully bonkers romp follows the Spice Girls (yes, all five) as they zig-a-zig-ah their way through fame, friendship, and a tabloid-fueled media circus in the lead-up to their big concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Cameos from Meat Loaf, Elton John, and aliens (yes, literal aliens) make this camp masterpiece a love letter to girl power, glitter, and the unshakable bond of friendship. It's more than a movie—it’s a time capsule of ‘90s pop, and a cult classic that still spices up our lives. To quote Letterboxd user Sarah, 'blah blah blah girl power feminism do you know what i mean'.

Cine-real presents: Burden of Dreams
German director Werner Herzog begins work on his 1982 epic "Fitzcarraldo" but soon runs into serious setbacks, from casting problems to his own stubborn refusal to use special effects. After having to reshoot much of the film because the lead actor was recast, his crew must then haul an old-fashioned steamboat over a mountain using manpower alone. With a resolve bordering on insanity, Herzog struggles to realize his vision, vowing to see the film completed -- even if it leads to his undoing.

CAMP CLASSICS presents: Freaky Friday (2003)
Welcome to Camp Classics, where we celebrate the films that queer culture has embraced for their unapologetic camp, iconic performances, and unforgettable style. Each screening dives into the movies that have become queer cultural staples, whether they were made with us in mind or not. This month’s camp pick is Freaky Friday (2003), directed by Mark S. Waters. Think body-swap comedy meets mall-punk rebellion, with a dash of early-2000s angst and one very cursed fortune cookie. Starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan at their absolute chaotic best, fueled by chunky highlights, pop-punk bangers and enough early-aughts fashion to fill a Delia's catalogue, Freaky Friday is a sharply funny, surprisingly heartfelt ode to empathy, generational miscommunication and the horror of discovering your mum thinks your crush is cute. It's part teen comedy, part suburban fever dream and all kinds of iconic. To quote Letterboxd user Jack, "and if i was to say the concert scene is one of the best film scenes ever created then what".

CAMP CLASSICS presents: GIRL 6
Welcome to Camp Classics, where we celebrate the films that queer culture has embraced for their unapologetic camp, iconic performances, and unforgettable style. Each screening dives into the movies that have become queer cultural staples, whether they were made with us in mind or not. This month’s camp pick is Girl 6 (1996), directed by Spike Lee. Think hustle meets heartbreak, but with stilettos, phone sex, and a Spike Lee edge. Girl 6 (1996) follows a struggling actress (played by Theresa Randle) who finds unexpected empowerment and identity in the world of phone fantasy. As she navigates sleazy auditions with sleazy directors (cue Quentin Tarantino cameo), anonymous intimacy, and the seductive pull of the persona she’s created, the line between performance and reality starts to blur. Stylish, provocative, and underscored by a Prince-curated soundtrack, Girl 6 is a bold exploration of fame, desire, and the price of being seen. To quote Letterboxd user fina1girlz, "you would never think a movie about a phone sex worker could be so poetic and such a fucking vibe... and the cameos in this are iconic"
