Description
Relaxed Screenings
We regularly schedule relaxed screenings for guests with autism and their friends to enjoy.
These screenings are designed to help neuro-diverse audiences and those with sensory sensitivity enjoy the cinema. To make these screenings more comfortable, the sound is turned down, the lights are only dimmed, not turned off, and the film will play without ads or trailers. Guests are welcome to move seats if they want and are welcome to bring in their own food to enjoy. Our relaxed screenings are also ideal for youngsters and adults with learning disabilities and those who prefer a more sensory-friendly environment.
At The Light we believe the magic of the big screen is for everyone, and we strive to ensure our venues and programmes are accessible to all.
Every screen is equipped with wheelchair and lift access. Our commitment to accessibility is reflected in our regular programme of adapted screenings, designed to suit all guests, whatever their needs.
Autism screenings have the following features:
- The auditorium lights are lowered but not turned off
- The sound is at a lower level than other screenings
- There’s no adverts or trailers – so the films start promptly at the time shown
- All customers are free to move around the auditorium
- Customers can bring their own food – though the usual cinema snacks are also available
