What makes a Cineworld cinema screening autism-friendly?

Sometimes you might also see an autism-friendly screening being described as a relaxed screening or a sensory-friendly screening. This means there are some adjustments in place to help reduce the stress and sensory input people with autism and other sensory sensitivities can experience.

Autism-friendly adjustments include:

  • There are no trailers
  • You can sit where you like, move around and make noise
  • The lights and volume are turned down
  • You can take your own food and drink
  • Staff are trained in autism understanding
  • Carers can get free entry with a valid CEA Card
